There are four, - fail, ~ softfail, + pass & ? Neutral. There are also: error (if the DNS fails) unknown (if the syntax is unrecognised) none (if there is no SPF info)
How do these difference responses work? Apologies if these have already been covered... -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Bilbee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 11 March 2004 18:37 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] SPF Scott I remember an issue with SPF that does not fall into pass or fail but if they use the ? in the spf record the email may be a maby. Has this been resoved? Or am I understanding it improperly? I do not want to negative weight a maby if it falls into the pass category. I know I do not have to negative weight and can use the fail only. Kevin Bilbee > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of R.
