let me rant a bit about SPF records.
Background info: my day job is fondling the servers at
$WESELLSTUFFOVERTHEINTERNET. We have a newsletter for customers and
other interested folks, its all pretty serious, double opt-in and
such; the actual sending of the newsletters is done by
$SOMEOTHERCOMPANY though.
One day, i get a ticket in our ticket system, which sums up as "we
need to have spf records, and we need them now, because that guy at
$SOMEOTHERCOMPANY says so, so that our newsletter is less likely to
get flagged as spam."
When you think about it, it even makes sense. So i wrestle the various
external DNS servers that serve our umpzillion of domain names (the
marketing dude seems to think that more domains is better...) into
accepting those TXT records.
(time passes)
One day, spamassassin seems to think that this newsletter, send to my
private email, is spam. This leads to me running it through
spamassassin in debug mode... and what do I see...
The guy at $SOMEOTHERCOMPANY has set up SPF records for their systems
as well... and has NOT included the server that gets fed the
newsletter...
So much for that.
bye,
MH
yes, i DO know that this list is NOT the scary evil monastery. but it
fits into the discussion... sort of...
