It's failing... :)
SPF originated with an idea of Gordon Fecyk, first written up AFTER he
left MAPS in 2001. First ID calling it SPF would have been 2003 or so.
A brief refresher from https://dmarcian.com/history-of-spf/
I'm remembering tiny bits here and there, pfft I'm nearing retirement,
so maybe that should be sooner rather than latter :)
But 20 years is a long time either way, and the base of my comments
stand, if you're using an OS or daemon that's that old (or even 10 years
ago), you STILL have much bigger problems than someone rejecting you on
SPF :)
The oldest mail server log I can find is from mx-in-08 sadly even that
one is only from 2005 but confirms we were using it then, quite a bit
longer than 2014 :P
