Whether you and the other amateur-topic-police* like it or not, the
subject is related to the more general subject matter of the list
(fighting spam) even if it doesn't relate to the more focused subject
matter of the list (spamassassin specifically). And, even then, I
would say that since there is an SPF module that comes with the base
SA packaging, the subject does have a bearing on the more focused
subject matter.
I hope I am speaking for those of us who are not completely anal about
mailing list topics when I say: quit it with the attacks on
only-partially-off-topic message threads. You're worse than the
threads themselves.
(* for people who are actual maintainers of the list, and thus are
"actual-topic-police", if any of them want to correct me, contradict
me, etc., no problem ... but I am more weary of the
amateur-topic-police than I am of the highly charged/highly biased
agenda oriented message threads)
You are speaking for me... This became a very relevant topic when the
spf tests were packaged with SA by default. As someone who is having a
major issue with spf, it is very important that those making these
decisions here about the issues that most are having with SPF. It was
not ready for primetime, and as such, it should have been rolled out
differently.
