As I've been reading it, they won't be actually stopping you from sending anything. Those who can send now without issue will continue to be able to do so. The problem and resolution is focused on those having issues with SPF as currently configured. They need a way to be able to send mail without running into that SPF flagging, and the consensus that seems to be developing is to leave the SPF in place as is, but change the policy to encourage, rather than discourage, sending thru Gentoo's servers, so the SPF entries don't /need/ to change. IOW, I don't see anyone proposing changes for those who find their current solution works. The changes are for those having problems with the current solution. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
