Both points are valid.
But, I think there's also some value in behaving exactly as the qmail-smtpd
patch does. Now that you mention it, I should further amend the SPF plugin to:
• include support for reading in the configuration from qmail's control
file
• enable the SPF plugin by default
If the qmail control file is missing, and there is no configuration enabling
SPF, it defaults to level 0, which is the same as the present disabled by
default" policy.
If this is a new qpsmtpd user with qmail already installed, they get their
"expected" SPF behavior with no effort.
