A majority of spam is from spoofed addresses. SPF will block this if the spoofed sender domain has published SPF records. SPF works excellent when people actually use it. The problem is that the job board's web developer is an idiot, and is intentionally sending spoofed mail. This really needs to stop. If you are aware of it happening, you should complain. Its spoofing. Spoofing needs to stop. *OR* the poster, knowing that his address is going to be spoofed, needs to update their own SPF record to allow mail to originate from the job board site. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
