pypolicyd-spf-2.9.3 crashes Postfix

[Sylvain Jones]

EPEL Maintainers,

It appears the update to pypolicyd-spf-2.9.3 from pypolicyd-spf-2.0.x 
crashes Postfix unexpectedly. Perhaps a missing dependency? Seems to be 
ahead from what I assume the upstream is, pip. Is this an error? 
Installing authres via pip was able to fix things without installing 
pypolicyd-spf via pip.

Below is what I got with the new version:

It looks like pypolicyd-spf-2.9.3-2 should be in
epel-testing now.  That update will install python3-authres,
so you may way to clean up the pip-installed copy you
mention below.

The upstream project was renamed some time ago.  It is now
called spf-engine, which is at 2.9.3 in pypi as well.

Except... for EPEL 9, there is no python3-authres.  There is a request
for it to be added though:

Oops.  Looks like there's a similar issue for
python3-pymilter which was added as another missing
dependency in the -3 package, per:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2142743

A bug was filed to branch pymilter for EPEL-9 in August and
a duplicate was filed today:
