I'm thinking about forking SPF into "The New SPF" and a non-XML "SPF1"
variant, i.e. keep The Old SPF going separately and independently from
The New SPF.
Who's with me?
Folks,
You're missing the point.
Keep in mind these facts:
1. Up until the flag day, SPFv1 stands as is.
2. After the flag day the New SPF will go into effect.
3. The flag day will only occur AFTER all the DNS servers have been updated
AND all the mail servers have been updated.
I see the flag day occuring 3 days after never. At least it will be long
enough that SPFv1 will see enough coverage that it will be effectively
changing the way email works for the better.
If you are against the New SPF, implement SPFv1 and start convincing others
to do so as well. If we solve the problem with SPFv1, there will be no need
for the New SPF, and not enough people will be motivated to implement it.
Remember that the power is in *our* hands. We determine what standards will
be used, and how they will be used. eBay, Amazon.com, Microsoft, and AOL do
not represent the internet. They may be bigger and fatter than any one of
us, but we are as a whole much larger and stronger than they.
