Subject: Re: [spf-discuss] Overly broad ip range in spf - think like a
spammer

For the company that I work for, we're publishing extremely
restrictive SPF records with a "-all" on the end.
The important thing here is that it's YOUR CHOICE. The whole point of SPF
is
that sending domains can pick a policy that works for them. I think
that's
getting lost in this discussion about whether certain policies should or
shouldn't be allowed.
The domain owner has their CHOICE of spf records. I was just pointing out
the perils of being over broad in defining the ip range which essentially
defeats the purpose of spf. Many people send email from their client with a
hotmail or yahoo return address. Should hotmail and yahooo open the whole ip
space in their spf records. If they do then spf will do little to stop spam.
