SPF Setup

2004-10-04 19:04:26
Stuart,

Yes I'm combining SPF results (Pass, Neutral, Soft Fail, Fail, None) for each and every email received.... I'm planning to use bayesian unfortunately, I still don't have sufficient number of spams to feed it for learning :(

Anyway thanks for idea.

Regards,
Anthony

You'll find that spammers are big early adopters of SPF.  You shouldn't
assign positive points just because the sender has a SPF record.
Ideally, you should combine SPF result (SOFTFAIL,NEUTRAL,PASS,UNKNOWN -
presumably you've rejected FAIL) with sending domain to form a token,
and keep stats on percentage of spam for that token.  A bayesian system
will do this automatically if you feed it the token.
