Official default SPF record

2004-03-19 14:45:44
The "guess" heuristic could be codified by specifying a default record
for checkers to use when no SPF record is published.  This would correctly 
handle the vast majority of domains, and for those where it doesn't do the 
right thing - they only need to publish a record.  Even if it is only 
"v=spf1 ?all".  Hopefully, this would motivate sysadmins to do the trivial 
work of adding the SPF record.  It is less trivial to add SRS, but they 
can use ?all until they get around to it.
