So, I cannot use the SPF support? I have two customers on this transport
server that use SPF records. Also, this is a production server and I
need to be sure of my process for re-install. I assume by what you're
saying above, I should run 'make rmconfig' to remove configurations and
then re-install on top of what's there, or does rmconfig do more?
Actually it looks like there is another version ready in the port system
one minor higher than mine, can't I just run portupgrade and don't
select SPF? And if I do that, should I still run rmconfig? Thanks for
the help.
