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 ?
I thought they had whitelists already, and you could pay them to get on these
lists. Staying on them requires (in addition to paying) that you publish spf.
That's what I thought, but i might be entirely wrong. Hotmail and/or AOL or not
really of any interrest to me, so i'm usually ignoring news about them.
