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.

problems by setting up SPF/DMP records.

Exactly what I'm wanting to make use of.

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

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.
