Hi Andy,
You guess wrong. It is useful. I'm declaring what's valid and
interested parties can use it, and I've seen they do, to help judge
what they've received.
By the way, my apologies for using your domain as an example.
I don't mind; lots of spammers use it anyway. And it's your IP address
if any backlist feedback is occurring. :-) I found the number of
automatic "bounce" emails, "still undelivered after N hours", that kind
of thing, dropped off very quickly when I put SPF in place.
I was so
surprised to actually find a domain that used -all that I immediately
put on my ``for science'' hat and proceeded to test.
twitter.com and amazon.com are two others with `-all' IIRC.
Did Hotmail accept the message over SMTP, or also deliver it to your
inbox? What was the detail of their spam judgement, e.g. based on
its headers? (Using Hotmail as an arbiter of quality!? Would be
interesting to hear what Gmail does.)
Yes, Hotmail accepted the message over SMTP from a non-approved IP
address and delivered it the Spam folder.
OK, so SPF may well have encouraged it to place it in +spam.
Interesting observation. I've always found it to be the opposite and
you're actually the first to have mentioned it. At least for me, I find
that having the text wrapped at odd places, or not wrapped at
all depending on the terminal/software displaying it, is much more
difficult.
I'm on the GNU groff mailing list, and there's the odd correspondent
there that runs their emails through nroff. :-) It also fully
justifies on a TTY, e.g.
tr -dc 0-4a-c </dev/urandom | tr -s a-z \\n | sed 100q |
nroff | grep .
Thankfully, man(1) has --nj that can be put into $MANOPT. :-)
A larger space indicates to me a significant break, e.g. end of
sentence. Lack of hyphenation means many spaces are becoming two in
your formatting, creating ugly rivers of whitespace. These are a
problem in typesetting of proportional fonts fully justified;
fixed-width doesn't have a chance. Subjective, I agree.
It also breaks vim's formatting of the `> ' quotes lines above, i.e. it
preserves the multiple spaces thinking they're significant.
Cheers, Ralph.
