SPF checking still not working with 9.0.1

[hgmichna]

Mail users trying to deliver email via Qmail's SMTP server experience the following error if they don't have an SPF record in their DNS.

'554 mail server permanently rejected message (#5.3.0)', Port: 587

The SMTP server apparently does an SPF check on an authenticated user delivering mail via port 587. That is totally idiotic.

I had hoped that this would be fixed in Plesk 9.0.1. Alas, it's still there.

Could anybody please confirm this?
