Whitelisting

2004-08-10 23:40:07
Hello,

 

SPF will not block spam, but will help blocking forged email senders. 

Spammers using real domains and real addresses will configure their SPF
record accordingly, so how can the SPF record be used to populate a
whitelist ? A valid SPF record / Pass Spf check cannot be trusted as non
Spam (on the opposite, a SPF Failed check could be rejected).

How AOL or Hotmail will implement this, as they are both talking about
whitelisting ? And how do you plan to implement this ?

 

Thanks for your feedback,

Emmanuel.
