That not only requires cpan.org to implement SPF, but also SRS. The SPF checking on the final message is not much useful: it only tells that you can accept mail from cpan.org, which you should know already, since you have an account there. If that message should be SPF-rejected, only cpan.org could do it. I would be content if they just implemented SPF. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: InterSystems CACHE FREE OODBMS DOWNLOAD - A multidimensional database that combines robust object and relational technologies, making it a perfect match for Java, C++,COM, XML, ODBC and JDBC. www.intersystems.com/match8 _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
