Re: Concerns about SPF and ebay messages

Hi !!

I have read up about SPF and I have a concern with eBay messages.  I know
that eBay forges the headers to show that the sender is the from address.
 I also know that once SPF goes full Deny, how will eBay be able to send
these messages again?

without any problem, eBayonly forges the headers, not the envelope sender
which is what spf tests.

Are you sure about that? I saw a SPF-based failure on Sep 29th.

[66.135.197.13] F=<email(_at_)address(_dot_)com> rejected after DATA: Not 
authorized by SPF
(I changed the email address for privacy reasons).

well, I really don't know what eBay is doing but all mailing list software I
know uses as the envelope sender the mailing list address or some kind of verp 
that belong to the same domain as the mailing list.
