So you have PASS => assume WHITE until proven BLACK.
Yes, that's a better idea than C/R systems based on
PASS.
<joke> postmaster(_at_)aol might still get some of these
obscure "rebounces" from me with a subject like...
Erroneous spam bounce to forged address - please use a filter and/or SPF
...but so far "my" spammers behave and gave up to
forge my FAIL-protected vanity domain. </joke>
[95% of the mails with a SPF policy]
Is that a guess ? 95% is a rather high number.
OK, 85%. Is that better?
Any number is fine, I only wanted to know whether I
should now troll various IETF lists with "Carl said
95% of the mail traffic already has v=spf1 policies"
Such hype is harmful if it's not true, see John's
ongoing rants about the infamous spf.pobox site - it
doesn't help when I say that I didn't link to it for
almost a year now, or that the SPF Council tried to
fix it for about five months - as long as this didn't
happen it's a weak spot. SPF is no FUSSP. FUSSPs
are stupid, like a perpetuum mobile.
SenderBase (volume/bounces), SpamCop (complaints),
Spamnet (complaints), etc.
I'm not very happy with SC allowing "misdirectred
bounces" to be reported without a (potential) FAIL.
Squeeze out all bounces isn't the plan. Bye, Frank
