It has been reported that AOL is already using SPF to give reduced
filtering to SPF-using domains. Is this a good idea?
Please visit: http://postmaster.aol.com/spf/
AOL has NOT said they will do less stringent checking if you publish
an SPF record. What they have said is that in order to remain on their
whitelist (assuming you meet all of the other requirements) you must
publish SPF records.
I think their website is pretty clear.
Their website is clear. And their use amounts to less stringent checking
for those using SPF, which is bad for the reasons I stated. And I might
add that this explains why spammers have quickly adopted SPF.
