<h2> Recent Changes </h2>
The RPM for release 0.7.0 moves the config file and socket locations to
/etc/mail and /var/run/milter respectively. We now parse Microsoft CID records
- but only hotmail.com uses them. They seem to have a patent on the brilliant
idea of examining the mail headers to see who the message is from.
We aren't doing that here, so not to worry - but I am not a lawyer, so if you
are worried, change spf.py around line 626 to return None instead of
calling CIDParser(). There is a new option to reject mail with no PTR
and no SPF.

The latest stable release is <a href="#stable">0.7.0</a>. A stable
release is one which has been installed (and working correctly) on
production systems long enough to convince me that it is stable. As
the package gains more features and complexity, stable will mean no
bug reports from outside users either.
