my system will continue monitoring the amount of email X IP, plus I
still have people able to report spam.
Any anormal situation is reported on my system, so is easy to check
logs and find out what is happening.
We have nice anti-spam solutions open like crm114 dspam.. etc.. I
think the biggest problem is the false positive cases. I'm expecting
that SPF will help me to reduce these false positive cases.
I don't wanna start a flame war here, but I'm going to expose my
thoughts about spam and all this work to try to avoid it.
In fact I believe that spam will never stop, there are people making
much money making and trying to avoid spam. So I hope all this fight
will make people make a resonable use of "spam".
There are tons of people that like to receive these super cheap meds,
or buy viagra, or even apply for a mortgage. And, once you start to
block this kind of email u'll be violating people rights... or
whatever.
I think isn't interesting for spammers mail wrong people, they waste
money and time. So I really HOPE that SPF will make things at least
more clear and easy to track. I won't block a spammer that has his SPF
registered domain sending useful stuff unless it "burns" my smtp
servers with junk or my users complain, or if they are sending porn
stuff (I think this is the biggest problem regarding spam)
Well... sorry my bad english... I hope you understood me.

If my system detect a spam from a domain using SPF, this domain will
be blocked automatcly.
Don't these two statements contradict each other? If your system
whitelists SPF-passing mail and doesn't touch it, how will it detect the
spam and then block the domain?
