Hello Folks,
Can we have a SpamAssassin score for a domain which doesn't have
SPF record set ??
The rule SPF_NONE exists in the standard rules channel. It is
currently scored at 0 by default.
I don't see why it isn't scored at 0.001.
The relevant comment in the 50_scores.cf file offers a dubious
justification that scoring it would encourage spammers to publish valid
SPF records just to avoid the rule. This would be a problem if SPF_PASS
had a strong ham score and lots of spammers used domains theyb owned
without SPF but I don't really see the logic when SPF_PASS is scored at
-0.001 and not having any SPF record is no longer the mark of a spammer
but rather a mark of mail apathy.
