Automatic email forwarders are generally a bad idea, at least in my humble opinion. They're always going to fail SPF unless you rewrite the sender-envelope, which I also don't think is a good idea. Ultimately, the argument generally comes down to "well, these used to work" and that's part of the

Been preaching about this for years. Have yet to get anybody of value's attention. If you're going to block mail servers by IP address (which, to be clear, I don't have a problem with providers doing this - and Yahoo does this along with countless other mail services), then you need to have a fee

It depends on what Google mail server you are sending to. Some require SPF, some don't. Although, maybe they've since closed that loophole. Google started requiring SPF records back in December 2021 according to the logs I reviewed (at least for some of their mail servers). The mail servers that

A lot of the issues stem from the way IT managers, and maybe technology managers in general bathe in arrogance. "There's no such thing as a good idea, unless it is *my* idea." It's easier to get blood out of a stone than for someone in IT to admit that someone else's approach to something has mer

It depends on what context you are referring to. Are you talking about abuse contact as a means to dispute abuse complaints? In that case, I'd say a form is better. An example is AT&T. When AT&T blocks our server, the bounce back message tells us to send an email to abuse_...@abuse-att.net. I'm

Yahoo's Feedback Loop is DomainKey based, but their blocking is IP based. At least that's how it used to be. Never made much sense to me to have an FBL based on DomainKeys, meaning every domain name that sends from an IP address has to have a registered feedback loop based on the DomainKey. All o
