Since when was the SPF record not for HELO checking?
Section 2.2.1 of the specification of SPF Classic
(http://spf.pobox.com/spf-draft-200406.txt) says:
When the return-path has no domain, a client MUST use the HELO domain
instead.
I've been doing a little research into just how old the SPF HELO
checking is. I have now pushed back the first suggestion of *ALWAYS*
checking the HELO domain to Sept 29-30, 2003. As far as when the
first SPF spec that says to check the HELO domain when the MAIL FROM
is null, see:
http://archives.listbox.com/spf-discuss(_at_)v2(_dot_)listbox(_dot_)com/200306/0001.html
This is from June 10, 2003 and this is the VERY FIRST POST TO
SPF-DISCUSS.
So, just how long have SPF records been required to be valid for HELO
checking? I really don't know. Maybe Meng can research further back.
