The killer feature of SPF is that I can tell somebody how to set it up over the phone. Most small businesses send mail from one or two places, and usually, I can google the appropriate "include:" for them. Once SPF is passing, whitelisting by domain is relatively safe. By comparison, setting up DKIM is anywhere from hard to impossible. _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
