My proposal is to use this scheme to determine the address to check,
Nice idea but, as discussions on this group showed, there is little
hope to have a consensus on this algorithm. Hence the "unified SPF"
(http://spf.pobox.com/unified/) idea which disconnects the protocol
and the DNS RR from the choice of the domain used for the
validation. "Unified SPF" gives you several choices for this domain
and your (fetchmail's) algorithm could be one of them.
The consensus if any so far has been in regards to PRA. I haven't seen
anybody posting yet in regards to this one.
Personally, I am very for using fetchmail's algorithm if it helps take
care of the IPR issues. But there is still IPR issues with marid-core
and I am not sure if this will take care of it.
