This is indeed NO solution on my opinion, lets point out the facts:
1) we publish for all our 1000+ domains spf records with "-all" !!!
2) nearly 100% is smooth and clear
3) only some major players like ebay are breaking rfc rules.
Exactly. So having everyone stick to the rules is the solution.
but...
ebay is a "must" in our days and if some Mails from ebay will be rejected
with 554 .... our customers will shoot us off to the moon....
so "who" may convince ebay to obey the rules.... i think some times they
and other make the rules ....
What was their response when you contacted them with the suggestion?
on this point Meng shoud intervent at @all major sites to reinspect their
email codes not to send with a envelope sender name of the intented
receiving domain !
to solve this with a hot needle like "if ebay make following if microsoft
do this.... " is not a real solution to help spf !!!!!!!!
How is working around people rather than encouraging them to fit within the
rules going to "help" SPF? Surely it's going to simply ensure that the same
problem continues for everyone else, as well as for you with the next site
that decides to follow eBay?
so meng please give your opinion for a possible and fast solution to this
dillema !!!
i postet two times to this list but no real answers are comming back..
my alterenatives for all domains are for now to switch them to "?all"...
rediciolous in my oppinion...
so please help us an me and our customers with a bunch of real solution
for this dilema no only wise tips...
Because you're not being very polite about it. Ridiculing those who do
respond isn't going to encourage any responses.
