No they wouldn't; you fail to see a key problem here. Any
domain that didn't implement DNS-SPF would then be hit for
HTTP-SPF requests.
Effectively you make DNS-SPF compulsory for anyone not
wishing to suffer the HTTP penalty.
;-) - and they would hurry up to implement DNS access for their
customers....
In my personal case you'd need over 12 web
servers in place of 2 DNS servers (of which I'd only need to
reconfigure the master one for any changes).
NO, you wouldnt since u have DNS and so not need the web server anymore.
http was ment to be a fallback mechanism in case no dns txt record
exist.
So basically, http is not going into SPF because we don't want it
there for a billion reasons.
Who is we? Are u speaking for everyone here?
Pretty much, yes. We've had this discussion before.
> Why dont we wait for other people
to give their personal comments?
Consider mine made. HTTP would provide a useful fallback in
very few cases, and merely provide a needless and heavy
demand in the vast majority of cases.
