Right. SPF is *not* an anti-spam technology. What SPF is good for is stopping bounces from joe-jobs. We get hundreds of bounces a day because people fake mail from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". A lot of this mail gets bounced, and the bounces head our way. If the entire Internet used SPF, then the place where the mails were originally injected would refuse them, and we wouldn't get all these bounces. So SPF is a good technology to combat joe-jobs providing everyone in the Internet uses it. :-( See http://www.rhyolite.com/anti-spam/you-might-be.html Regards, David. _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
