The forwarding problem is known and information is on spf.pobox.com

like it is 'the big secret of spf' that there is a forwarding issue. I
suppose people read this site before publishing, so they must know
about the forwarding problem. However, people still publish. I'm not
going to guess at the motivations of these people, i'm not a pyschologist.
Fact is that despite the forwarding issue, people do publish.
The forwarding problem isn't exactly shouted from the rooftops on the
SPF site, and people rarely actually think things through for
themselves, unfortunately. If you point those _same_ people at something
like http://david.woodhou.se/why-not-spf.html they often seem to change
their mind again and stop publishing records, in my experience.
Although not correct in some places, it as a funny web page indeed! In
my experience, people have read that page and either don't care, don't
understand or don't believe what is being presented. And given the
incorectness of some of the statements on that page, who can blame them.
Anyway, this thread is going nowhere fast, so let's close it allright?
Kind regards,
