Hi,
Perhaps we can borrow from the fox. I'll happily provide
whatever I can
to do something similar. There are almost 180,000 domain names
registered with the spfTools.net SPF adoption roll. Comparing my
figures with that of Wayne we can safely say there is in excess of
600,000 domains publishing SPF and I believe one could even say 1M.
Thats a lot of domains. Man, if we could get just $0.10 from each
domain owner ;)
FireFox is a client and to obtain a good roll out they need to inform their
expected user base.
i.e. the public.
SPF is an MTA level 'protocol' and thus the target audience is MTA authors.
I assure you I'm quite well aware of SMTP and it place with many others
in the 'Application Layer'.
You would get a better take up if you contacted all the MTA authors and
proposed they take part and implement SPF. Eventually all ISP's will replace
their software and if the MTA has SPF installed they are much more likely to
use it.
This is more or less what I was implying. I could have been more
specific but I was attempting to illicit some suggestions from people,
much as you have just done, excluding the unfortunate misconception as
to my grasp of the topic of course ;-)
SPF will only succeed if its exclusion from an MTA would make the MTA
unsalable (I don't mean financially).
Yes indeedy. Lets play a game!
How much money did Microsoft shove down Sendmail's pants to get their
unbridled attention and support?!
So lets take up a fund, and offer this SMTP server of the evening a
higher price and see if she'll spend a night over at our place.
Cheers,
James
