Hi all,
Apologies if this has come up before.
Whilst looking for something else, I noticed that some posts to Usenet
are getting the SPF header added, especially messages going through
the ISC relays on the machine mailbox.ucsd.edu. Most of them pass,
and none of them (so far as I know) are getting rejected, but a few do
state the SPF failed (because the NNTP server sends the poster's email
address incl. domain in the from envelope, and the SPF record doesn't
desognate the NNTP server/relays to send mail on behalf of that
domain).
Rather ironic considering this problem is the very flaw in SPF that has
had many a potential implementor's panties in a bunch. As you suggest
the solution is a rather simple one.
Cheers,
James
