[users] Clash of 2 SPF packages

Hi Hugo,

I'm not sure where you got this information from but it is completely
incorrect. I use sa-update and do not require both the packages you're
referring to, as a matter of fact, SpamAssassin themselves only advise you to
use the perl-Mail-SPF (Mail::SPF) package since it follows the current
reference implementation RFC 4408, which Mail::SPF::Query does not.

You can visit the SpamAssassin website for those details.

In summary, only install perl-Mail-SPF from rpmforge and do not install
perl-Mail-SPF-Query.

Regards,

Michael.
