Thanks for your thoughts on the topic. > what is the point of insisting SPF/DMP?
At this point I don't want to insist on it, but reward connections coming from a properly configured SPF/DMP mta. > SPF/DMP is great because the records are only in the forward zone, > so mail servers that can't set up correct PTR can "escape" their PTR problems by setting up SPF/DMP records. Exactly what I'm wanting to make use of. > To repeat an earlier point about using DNS records for validation: > AOL rejects inbound mail with single criteria of no PTR, > but how many of you are doing the same? Not there yet, still on my wish-i-could list. Unfortunately users love to just "abandon" the better service to get their mail rather than help resolve rejects > So are we now saying we will not/cannot reject mail from PTR-less IPs, > but we will reject mail for SPF/DNP-less domains? No, don't want to reject for the lack of records, but I'de like to offer it as a way to bypass my FP rejects. My joker matches often catch companies on DSL/fractional circuits and I gave up trying to force everyone contacting me to fix their revdns and now my DUNNO lines are getting large.. Who knows how many are stale. I'de rather post a page like postmaster.aol.com that instructs these people to setup SPF/DMP DNS records to get around this reject... A big load off my sholders and someone else with the DNS setup. -----Original Message----- From: Len Conrad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2003 7:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMGate] Re: SPF/DMP
