[plug] FYI: SPF RECORD

[Nino M. Gonzales]

FYI: SPF Record Kick that spammers a$$ out of our mail system!!!!   http://spf.pobox.com   [from spf.pobox.com]: SMTP has a security hole: any connecting client can assert any sender address. This flaw has been exploited by spammers to forge mail. The result: your mailbox fills up with bounces to messages that you didn't send. Close the hole, and we can easily block spammers by sender domain. SPF fights email address forgery and makes it easier to identify spams, worms, and viruses when domain owners designate sending mail servers in DNS, so that SMTP receivers can distinguish legitimate mail from spam by verifying the envelope sender address against client IP before any message data is transmitted.
