------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-07-29 12:48 ------- Okay, so the entire hostname is only for HELO checks and would mean that I'd need two SPF records: one for the domain and one for the host? You're right, I'm not getting any SPF_HELO_FAILs, but it would just be nice to get an SPF_HELO_PASS (if for no other reason, then to know that forgers would then be more likely to get fails). As a suggestion for domain checking, why not start with the given name and just start sripping off the lower levels, one at a time, until an existing domain is found? I know there'd be more overhead because of the extra DNS lookups but it would be more accurate and work in more scenarios, including internal domains, regardless of registry policies, etc. At the very least, check for the domain immediately following the hostname. I guess I just don't understand the rationale behind the complexity of "split_domain". In a related issue, why is SPF_HELO_FAIL worth less than SPF_HELO_SOFTFAIL in 50_scores.cf?: score SPF_HELO_FAIL 0 0.405 0 0.001 score SPF_HELO_SOFTFAIL 0 1.002 0 3.140 -->should this be a bug? ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
