I've been reading up
on SPF and understand that it checks the validity of the return address of an
email and if that return address is valid, it doesn't change the scoring of the
email to identify it as spam...a wash so to speak. If it cannot validate
the return address then it assumes that it's spam....is that
correct?
We are getting some
emails that end up as being identified as spam but aren't. What we would
like to do is to send a "bounce" email back to the sender (if it is a valid
return address & their email has been identified as spam by spamassassin)
for them to tell us that it really isn't spam.
I know that this may
sound weird but it's difficult to us to review all the spam to catch a few false
positives. So my boss thought that this might be a solution. Of
course the sender of the email couldn't reply back to the bounce because it
would also be considered spam.
Is anyone else doing
this? Is this a good idea? How do we tell the senders to verify that
what they sent us is indeed NOT spam?
