Any spam-filtering program should be able to trust the SPF information if a site provides it. Gentoo.org has elected to provide the SPF records, effectively marking gentoo.org mail originating from other SMTP servers as rogue. So it's misleading to tell devs they can send from any SMTP server... > I personally don't remember the reasons for the SPF argument so > I can't speak for that in a reasonable manner.

We probably should look into seeing if we can > get around that, It seems a bit ridiculous to broadcast a list of authoritative gentoo.org SMTP servers, then suggest to devs to send from other servers, and try to handle the mismatch on the recipient end. Is that what you're suggesting? Aron
