People have been forwarding mail about as long as there has been electronic mail. The fact that SPF can't describe forwarded mail is a failure of SPF, not of mail. One of the reasons that DMARC allows either SPF or DKIM validation is that DKIM isn't affected by forwarding (at least not by normal forwarding.) What's really strange is that the guy who invented SPF ran pobox.com which is a mail forwarding service. I never understood what he was thinking. -- Regards, John Levine, [email protected], Primary Perpetrator of "The Internet for Dummies", Please consider the environment before reading this e-mail. https://jl.ly _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list [email protected] https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop
