Apparently, several days ago pobox.com (which I use as a forwarding agent) turned on the Sender Rewriting System (SRS), which is related to the SPF project.
I've just discovered that as a result, a lot of mail to me is being challenged that wasn't being challenged before, and individual confirmations are no longer working properly. As far as I can tell, here's what's happening. The first problem is "to" sources in the incoming filter. Since "to" sources only match the envelope recipient, and SRS changes the envelope recipient fairly drastically, a lot of my old patterns no longer work. I'm watching the logs and changing them manually, but this seems risky because the kind of rewriting that SRS does isn't completely standardized. The second problem is with confirmations. When someone responds to a confirmation request, SRS rewrites their envelope sender to a unique value, with the result that TMDA sends them another confirmation request! I've already had someone horribly confused by this. For now, I'm just manually adjusting the pending queue when the first confirmation arrives, but I can't always do that quickly enough to avoid the confusion. I've checked archives for both TMDA and the SPF project at pobox.com, with no luck. Is anyone else running into these problems? If so, what sort of workarounds are you using? I suspect a real fix requires new functionality in TMDA. Does anyone in the developer community have any advice? Thanks!
