he's not the only one... seems there's a lot of backscatter coming in
these days.
Thanks for confirming that spf doesn't fix the problem.
The main problem with SPF is that most other servers out there don't check it
even if you set your own records correctly. I've been joe-jobbed since I
implemented SPF and maybe it's possible I would have gotten more backscatter
without it, but I still got plenty because the servers which got the email in
the first place didn't check SPF to see that it wasn't coming from me. The
sadly funny time was when I got backscatter from a server with an accompanying
message of "this email failed SPF so it probably didn't come from you, but just
to be safe I'm returning it to you anyway" - great, thanks.
DKIM would have the same issue - doesn't mean anything if the other folks don't
check it.
