Subject: RE: [spf-discuss] Abusing SPF record for PRA testing
Perhaps a representative from the SPF council should contact
postmaster(_at_)algoritmnt(_dot_)ru indicating that PRA interpreting
SPF records
is unacceptable, with the illustration of this particular failure
as being why.
A proposed response that the SPF council rep could use follows:
Terry,
While I advocate responsible net-citizens contacting neighbors on an
individual basis, as they see fit, I personally do not
believe the council
should ever involve itself in such a fashion. I am, as you
may have read,
all for sending out communiqués in which the council makes deployment
recommendations, reflecting the view of the SPF community. I
A valid point.
do believe,
however, that it is not the council's place at all to seek
out and address
people, ex cathedra, on how they messed up. At the most, in
this regard, I
feel the council can issue a general set of deployment
recommendations,
along with examples, if need be.
The SPF council should, imho, not take on the rather
presumptuous role of
a parent chastising an errant child. In a free market, the
SPF community
has generated some self-earnt clout. By means of the council, the SPF
community can choose to publish a certain vision, or a specific set of
recommendations for deployment. After that, people are on their own.
My suggestion was not to "chastize an errant child", although I can see how it
would be perceived as
such.
My concern is that there is an error in understanding, recall that the domain
is russian, there
could be a language barrier issue and they made the error through lack of
understanding.
I usually try to help where I can. Is it the general consensus that we should
just let others who
may be making a mistake go unadvised of the mistake? Or is it just that the
council should not
participate in advice giving?
