Re: Opening Debate on SPF vs. SenderKeys

2004-08-21 01:08:56

SPF "-all" attempts to say semantically that "email not from a certain
IP is forgery" where from a senders perspective "any email I send is
not a forgery".

No it does not say it is a forgery, it says that the sending MTA is
not authorised (by the domain owner) to send mail on behalf of that
domain.

"SPF fights email address forgery..." 



One thing I have learned today (well it is tomorrow already) is that
SPF appeals to sys admins, 

Which is not surprising as SPF is a system admin tool.


So thus as I said, you will not get same reaction from the perhaps million 
novice personal domain ownsers.

You re-inforce my opinion that getting SPF "-all" supported by those novices 
can not keep up with the rate that new domains are registered.
