(Koha has paid developers too) today a popular Open Source Software would mean that it has to be packaged made readily available as binary for installation atleast in two family of distros - debian fedora. not necessarily. In the first place, as far as I know, developers rarely package their own apps. The packages are usually built by 3rd parties. Also a lot of apps do not have binaries - like django. Also since deployment in a framework like django is usually through virtualenv or buildout, the rpm/deb cannot be used. I have seen people trying to use the packaged version of django in Fedora and Ubuntu and it has been very frustrating for them. post development - building them to get the binaries for various architectures taking them to repos/ maintaining there or under one's own repo can be given some priority. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

The link below explains it. http://www.openspf.org/SPF_Record_Syntax#mx MX is for receiving mail, SPF is for sending... Or am I wrong? May be I didn't put it in a clear way. SPF is for the receiver of your mail to see if the mail actually came from your network. MX is need when some one sends an email to you.

Re: [Ilugc] [Need Tutorial] Learning about email SPF records
The reason why I am asking for this is because we are often getting spoofed emails and to avoid that we need to add SPF checking for a particular domain before confirming the authenticity of that email. If it is hardfail in SPF people tell me it is good to do SPF check, however when it is softfail why does not the authenticity of the received email get maintained ? -- Regards, Balasubramaniam Natarajan www.etutorshop.com/moodle/ ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Another good technology that we can use is DKIM. But, unfortunately, it is not yet in wide use. If it is hardfail in SPF people tell me it is good to do SPF check, however when it is softfail why does not the authenticity of the received email get maintained ? I am not sure if I got your question correct. If you are asking why the mails are not getting dropped for a Softfail, it is bescause the RFC says the the receiving end SHOULD NOT reject the mails based on this. So, the normal solution for this would be to let the user mark it as spam. One possible reason that we need the soft fail mechanish is that the DNS SPF entry has been changed and the system still has some mails in an undelivered state. To explain it better, let's say a domain had no SPF entries defined. And some 100 emails have been sent from various servers of that domain. Now, if the admin sets the SPF record to mx -all All mails from boxes other than the MX would get dropped by the receiving mail server, and some of them might be legitimate. It might be that all the new policy might not have been known to some people in the organisation and hence they are using machines other than the MX. So, to allow such emails to be delivered, the SPF is defined as follows, mx ~ all Now, the receiving entity will receive a soft fail, but SHOULD NOT reject the email. This is the reason why we normally don't reject for soft fails.

Nice examples as it contains an include record as well. So in this case of ici...@nk.com they are very explicitly telling that do not accept any email other than the IP specified below and for p@y...@l.com how can we determine the authenticity of the mail received ? Unfortunately you cannot do it based on just this. The best solution is to write to Paypal asking them to create a proper hard fail record(-all) instead of(~all). I am not very sure, but there must be means to add a custom header, something like X-SPF-Check, and ask the people in your domain to have a filter based on that header field. If the header is set, the mails should be handled with caution as it can be a spoof mail. But in my opinion, it is in everyone's interest that Paypal defines a proper fail record. Thanks PS: On a GNU/Linux machine, if you install dnsutils package, you get the 'dig' tool. It is very easy to use, instead of using an external website. dig -t txt icicib@nk.d0m would return all its text entries, and hence its SPF records. -- Thank you, Balachandran Sivakumar blog: http://beningbala.wordpress.com Arise, Awake and Stop Not Till the Goal is Reached - Swami Vivekananda ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
