Opendmarc has its own internal SPF checking code that is used when compiled --
with-spf, but not linked against libspf2.  The internal code is by no means a 
complete implementation of the SPF spec.  My kvetching about that is (I think) 
why linking against libspf2 is an option.

It's not required to use libspf2 (btw, libspf is a completely separate 
ancient, abandoned code base, so to be clear, it's libspf2 you want), but I 
certainly recommend it.  That's what I did in the Debian packages.
