I guess I've never really seen the point of publishing a SPF record if it ends in ~all. What are people supposed to do with that info? Spamassassin assigns it a score of 0.6 but that is low enough it really doesn't have much since it doesn't assign any negative points for SPF_PASS. > (And before anybody asks, yes ~all is what we want, and no you can't ask us > to try -all instead, unless we're allowed to send you all the helpdesk calls > about misconfigured migratory laptops".. ;) I certainly understand that you may not be able to lock down your domain. We don't even try for customers for instance. However, if you can't, I guess I don't really see what good publishing a SPF record is if you tell people not to enforce it.
