the v=spf2.0/pra entry is not necessary if its content is
the same as a v=spf1 record.  Sender ID receivers will fall

this is the common case --- scope disambiguation with /pra
and /mfrom is only relevant to a small minority of cases.

There seems to be a range of issues which Meng needs to explain *fully* to
the lists, including the results of his recent conversations with M$.

November seems to be National Antispam Month:

Nov 1-3: MAAWG meeting, http://www.maawg.org/ Atlanta, GA
Nov 2-4: ISPcon, http://www.ispcon.com/ Santa Clara
Nov 9-10: FTC Email Authentication Summit, Washington DC
Nov 7-12: IETF, Washington DC
Nov 14-19: LISA, Atlanta, GA
Nov 17-19: Inbox Event, http://www.inboxevent.com/ Atlanta, GA
Nov 16: Meng arrives early at the Inbox Event to discuss SPF, etc
Dec 1: Accountable Net event in SFBA

I will be at Inbox a day early on Nov 16 to discuss what
email will look like once authentication + reputation +
accreditation are plugged in to the system.

The spf community needs to decide what the "official spf-community policy"
is going to be.


Slainte,
