SPF/TXT records

[Jeff Lightner]

I don't get this at all.  Rather than ask "WHO" is saying it why not
post reasonable counter arguments to "WHAT" they said.

 

Much of what one finds on the internet is anonymous at best but doesn't
mean it has no value.  Also for all I know they are well respected in
certain areas.   When I first posted to this list one common ISC
poster's attacks on posts turned me off to him but others pointed out
that he is with ISC and is knowledgeable in the subject.   To me he
seemed like a troll annoyed by newbies which often made me wonder why he
bothered with the list at all. 

 

As I said before I posted those two links after someone on this list
talked about a debate as to the value of SPF.   The links I posted
seemed to have some good points.   My question wasn't how much value
those two links had but rather whether people on this list think SPF
should be used at all.  I didn't post an exhaustive list of links but
just two that came up quickly when I looked into the debate as
suggested.

My comments below will be to all in general, not to anyone specific and
no offence intended to anyone...

Ok enough of the sarcasm :) 

Is someone here seriously trying to use those sites as a "reason" to not
do something,  might as well reference us to
mydogspewsupaftereatinglambbones.com
<http://www.mydogspewsupaftereatinglambbones.com>     (dunno if that's a
real site, but its name has about as much credence
as the ones given).  Seriously if you want to show why not,  reference a
reputable site with reputable commentators.


In relation to SPF2, if you use  M$'s crap, you do have a slightly
better chance of hotmail not losing your mail, so it is worth it if you
provide services to anyone else other then yourself (where you *can*
play god not affecting anyone else).

BUT... do NOT use spf2 enforcement on your side, or you'll find a lot of
mailing lists being very quiet  :)


Cheers
