Hello

Nowadays running a mailserver is becoming cumbersome.  However in the
overall picture it is better not to use a mass-mail hoster like yahoo,
gmx and the like, because it allows spammers to masquerade their
messages behind [EMAIL PROTECTED] addresses, which you are unlikely to
block, since so much other people use them.


SPF can help with this one, if the spammer's mail from: is from
yahoo.co.jp or gmail.com, or gmx.de, you can test against their spf
records. (actually yahoo only have spf on its co.jp domain and gmail
is ?neutral).

you can download spf.c. mkfile and a "man page".

i'm testing it, but i cannot find domains with macro strings, so i
tested offline as much as i could.

feedback and fixes appreciated :)

PD: you will need to modify /sys/src/upas/smtp/smptd.c and
/mail/lib/validatesender to get it running.
