I was a very early (even in testing) user of SPF, It's rather commical
reading these FUD sayers about SPF and mailing lists, it has never been
a problem with mailing lists, not using mailman nor its more common
predecessor majordomo, and I've never noticed anything wrong with qmail
users ezmlm.
If you have used some half baked concoction that doesn't conform to
standards that's not an SPF failure, it's yours. I've enforced and
published SPF since get go, I did extensive testing and never found ONE
instance of a list problem.
As for forwarding, SPF is only a problem if you dont follow standards
and re-write. Nearing two decades of SPF use (forget exactly its been so
long) never had a mailing problem sending or receiving with SPF and I've
always published hard fail, rarely forward Email, and it seems our
customers don't either.
If it was so dooming and earth ending do you really think I'd be using
it privately, let alone commercially (a couple top 5 national "end user"
ISPs & one with web hosting) for all this time, no, I'm not a
masochist.
