I hope that this is not too off-topic. I'm interested in understanding what
happens in a world where SPF has wide adoption and where many companies are
using a 3rd party relay provider for various reasons.
If I assume:
1. Some companies will use a 3rd party relay for performance (or other) reasons
2. Some companies will use a 3rd party relay for marketing reasons - and
they don't want to co-mingle their "corporate" email with their bulk email.
Now I have legitimate companies who are publishing the IP addresses of
these 3rd parties, and I have "marketers" who are publishing the IP
addresses of these 3rd parties.
What does this do to any notion of a reputation scheme? Won't the world
quickly polarize into 100% good, and everything else? Who's reputation
would you be looking at? Because these outbound IP addresses now serve
multiple organizations, do they end up with, in essence, the reputation of
the least reputable organization who uses them?
Thanks in advance.
