SPF localpolicy may be used for forwarder problem case, there 
smtp-policy can't be used.
For example, we can whitelist own 'trusted forwarders' using own 
localpolicy and (independently) trusted-forwarders.org 
(use_default_whitelist flag).
Mail from trusted will be checked by SPF, but will not fail in forwarding.

So, of course, I can separate diffs to bugfix and improvements, but I 
think including localpolicy is a right way.
