"Tag-only" mode for sendmail milter

The patch below adds a "tag-only" mode to the milter. The patch is to
be applied against the version from your mail of 12h38 GMT today.

With this patch, the milter adds only a "Received-SPF: fail" header to
the message, rather than rejecting it altogether. In addition, a
comment is logged into /var/spf-milter/spflog

This behavior can be switched on using the new -T option.

The intent is to allow an MTA admin to "test the waters" before
installing the milter for real: first install it using the -T mode,
check the spflog for false positives, and if all went well, remove the
-T flag.

Regards,

Alain

I think the patched version is already on the downloads page. can you
check? btw your patch had weird characters in it.

Yes, I integrated "tag-only" into 1.30, almost immediately. And I'm pretty
sure I announced it here, too.
