procmail and SPF (sender permitted from)

2004-04-14 09:18:44
I've been hearing a lot about SPF recently, and how it's a way to detect email 
with forged sender.  Unfortunately, I'm a procmail newbie and I know even less 
about how email works.  I asked my ISP if they could implement SPF, and they 
said they'd think about it.  In the meantime, I'd like to be able to do as much 
as I can.

I did a google search for procmailrc and spf, but I didn't find much, except 
this paragraph:

   There are some fairly compelling reasons to want to do this at the MTA
   connect time, not as a post-processing step via procmail. For one thing, the
   "From " at the connect time is believable because the IP address is known to
   it.

Based on this, it looks like I'm barking up the wrong tree, but I want to hear 
the opinion of the experts on this list first.  Is there anything I can do 
SPF-wise in my .procmailrc?
