Any benefit relies on an initial MTA/MSA refusing to relay for domains that don't set the correct SPF records, i.e. it replies on the security of MTA's that are owned, controlled or abused by spammers. On the other hand setting SPF records means that more spam using the domain will be rejected at the SMTP level. This actually leads to more backscatter. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
