Ah ok. I've built and installed BIND9, then rebuilt libspf_alt.

The only problem I'm seeing now is occasional timeouts:

Jun  9 16:41:02 ureshii sm-mta[78071]: i59KeqEx078071: Milter
(greylist): timeout before data read

My guess is the spf record lookup is timing out ?

I supposed I should run a caching server on this machine.
