Well, there's certainly a downside of NOT adding an SPF record. ;-) (1) It's more easy for spammers to forge your "from" address, which is besides a security and virus/worm risk, also subjects you to more spam in the form of bounce messages etc. (2) More and more providers are using the lack of an SPF record as an indicator to increase the probability of marking messages as spam, that were supposedly sent from you and received by them. The only downside of creating the SPF record that I know is in the event you make a mistake. Disallowing yourself from sending mail from an IP where you actually intend to send from legitimately. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
