I'm missing something. What keeps a bad guy from setting up shop and claiming to be forwarding mail and claiming that SPF was valid on the crap he is sending? It seems to me that a critical step for doing things right is that the user has to get involved and agree to receive forwarded mail, including all the spam that gets past the spam filters at the forwarder. I think that would work for geeks but it's probably too complicated for the typical user. Do you have to be geeky enough to set up forwarding? The same holds for mailing lists but you don't have to be a geek to get added to one. I think it would be great if the mail environment asked me if I wanted to get added to a list before it started accepting mail for that list. I wonder if a typical user could handle that. I don't know what happens to transactional mail. Is this only going to work for big players who generate or receive enough traffic so the receiver can develop a useful reputation? -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop
