Hi Paul, One benefit is in spam scoring. For example, Mdaemon (mail server I use) allows point scoring of spam. As well as other point modifiers, it can be selected that is there is no SPF for the incoming email, or the SPF record says the email is not originating from a valid mail server points can be added to the spam score.

It seems like it can only benefit me, but I'm not sure... SPF... You mean that framework that means your mails are slightly more likely to get through to AOL users and you STILL can't figure out if the incoming aol.com e-mail is genuine or not because they end their own SPF record entries with ?all meaning that their list of valid mail servers isn't complete!!! It's a nice idea on paper but after a few months of using it in *both* directions, the benefits are pretty minimal. The problem is, because so many people don't use it, you can't enforce a strict policy for the acceptance of mail, it would reject far too much legitimate mail so it is crippled by the lack of uptake. > 2) SmarterMail - Public/Shared folders...
