Thanks for your defense of not reading the entire minutes, James.
To clarify the first poster's response to my comment: ie: "So I take it you
did *NOT* read the minutes of the last meeting"
No, I do not regularly read the minutes of the meetings, but the
SFP.POBOX.COM, website CLEARLY states, in the upper right-hand corner of the
page:
"SMTP + SPF
Sender Policy Framework
an essential part of Sender ID"
THAT'S the sellout I am referring to, and it clearly carries forward in much
of the content that Ming posts to the SPF discussion group.
To me, that's extremely offensive. SPF has nothing to do with the SENDER ID
protocal being promoted by Microsuck and others. It is a STAND ALONE TOOL
that should NOT be associated with any other anti-spam mechanism.
SPF should immediately STOP referring to itself with SENDER ID in all ways
and ignore Microsoft. All the cooperation with Microsoft is doing is
slowing the entire process down and, potentially, relegating SPF to the bit
bucket.
Let's stop worrying about what everyone else thinks and get SPF up and
running as an accepted protocal.

Really?
So I take it you did *NOT* read the minutes of the last meeting?
Not many do. Might I point out the potential value in perhaps pointing
out the referenced piece of information in a news release type fashion.
Only those integrally involved in shaping the forward movement of SPF
likely read the entire minutes. I must confess reading IRC in black and
white is painful and difficult to follow (as opposed to "live" whereby
my client uses colours to aide in differentiating which client is
speaking). Additionally not many have the time.... Just my $0.02
Cheers,
James
