  This list is for open discussion of the proposed SPF standard.

  Subscription to this list, and posting to it, is a privilege, not a right.
  The list operates according to the best practices described at RFC1855.
  Revocation of privileges operates according to an abbreviated form of BCP83.

  The SPF mailing list is intended for constructive discussion and promotion of 
SPF.
  If you believe that the SPF concept is fundamentally flawed, please subscribe 
instead
  to the ietf-mxcomp mailing list at http://www.imc.org/ietf-mxcomp/

  The SPF standard originated as a hybrid of Gordon Fecyk's DMP
  proposal and Hadmut Danisch's RMX proposal.  It now provides
  a superset of their functionality.  More information at

  November 2004: The Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group

  October 2004: Microsoft encourages the publication of SPF
  records.  Microsoft will use a modified form of SPF, known as
  "Sender ID", to check message headers in MUAs.  Most other
  MTA implementations continue to use SPF in its original form,
  to check the return-path at SMTP time.
