This might be a fix for mail-lists and forwarding which will
require the
MTA's to do nothing at all, but will have a higher overhead,
so is not a
long-term solution. My intention here is to create a "fix"
<snip>
As I see it, people *want* to have a solution, and will
tolerate such things
until someone gets around to sorting out how mail-lists and forwarders
should operate, and then gets them all to comply. Spf on
it's own will work
in all situations eventually, but it's going to be a gradual
process, as any
innovation always is. In the meantime, we need some "fixes"
for situations
that exist in the real world.
Valid point.
You stated:
require the MTA's to do nothing at all
I am not sure how that is possibly, because even forwarders ARE the "MTA"'s in
question.
I look forward to feedback from the implementors in the trenches who have more
insight into this.
But I do think the concept is good, hopefully it is workable (perhaps more
workable then SES?
Certainly looks more workable then SRS, because SRS has some real problems I
think :)

Don't let this proposal make you think I want to "water down"
SPF. Far
from it -- as soon as the mail-lists and forwarders problems
are resolved by
a better means, trash this method. :-)
