Re: Some thoughts about spam and SPF

Hi,

Anyone who wants to contact me regarding the post below, please do so off-list. 
I'm currently ignoring this particular thread due to a >50% accuspam ratio.

This goes for a number of other threads too. Perhaps this is Shelby's law:

"Any thread on a mailing list for which more than 20% of the posts are signed 
'accuspam' is likely to be ignored by 80% of the list participants."

I think that Stuart is right, you need an SMTP AUTH service
that prevents domain forgery.

People keep saying this, but so far no one has been able to name such a 
service.  There are plenty of places out there that do SMTP AUTH, but 
are there any that actually prevent cross-customer forgery?  If not, 
there's no way anyone who doesn't run their own mail server can use -all.

Ok, so there's a lot of demand for this service. I'm willing to set it
up:

- buy a server
- get it colocated
- set up smtp auth with cross-customer forgery prevention
- set up incoming smtp with spf checks with: forwarding to any other
  mailer on any other port (eg. port 2525 for people with isp's who
  block port 25) or pop retrieval.

I figure with at least 20 customers this service could work for 12
euro's a month. There'd be a limit to the number of domains (i'm
thinking about 5) and a limit to the number of email traffic generated
(2 gb a month approx.) with an option to increase either.

Anyone who's interrested, please let me know. I can have this up and
running in a month. 

This is no business advertisement, i don't want to get rich providing
such a service. I want to enlargen the spf community by giving those
that are currently left out of the picture an oppurtunity to join in.
