Re: [Declude.JunkMail] spf breaks email forwarding -

[Matt]

Real-world issues include working around bad implementation, such as surfglobal.net not configuring their server to reject messages that fail SPF. SPF has many real-world issues.  SRS is novel, but it is impractical since no one supports it (that I am aware of), and it certainly won't be globally available any time soon. I suggest you tell your customer that they can't forward their E-mail reliably unless surfglobal.net removes their SPF restrictions, and there is nothing that you can do about it. SPF is not a magic bullet. Matt Nick Hayer wrote: The problem is not anything I am doing - it with SPF itself. By design forwarded email will bounce if the receiving MTA is configed that way. Even if I whitelist the emails they will bounce... Let me explain - <user>@Adelphia.net send an email to <user>@greenmountainhealth.com which is an alias on my server that forwards to <user>@surfglobal.net SurfGlobal will bounce the email because it failed Adelphia's SPF. Perfectly legit email - my spf recs are perfect etc. The solution is SRS - otherwise forwarding is dead -Nick John T (Lists) wrote: I think the underlying problem as has been discussed on this list is that an SPF FAIL should not be relied upon as an outright rejection, rather used as part of a weighting system.
