October 1, 2004 is the adoption date. Here's your warning record from DNSREPORTS.COM
Your domain does not have an SPF record. This means that spammers can easily send out E-mail that looks like it came from your domain, which can make your domain look bad (if the recipient thinks you really sent it), and can cost you money (when people complain to you, rather than the spammer). You may want to add an SPF record before October 1, 2004, the target date for domains to have SPF records in place. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Glenn Smith Sent: Monday, August 09, 2004 08:45 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] SPF Impacts to ISPs Are many people picking this up and implementing it? According to the web site they've only got ~6000 registrations, which is not exactly a lot when you consider the size of the internet.
