Re: Proxy spf records (was Validator Testing Request)

If I'm not getting the wrong end of the stick, the proposal is to
publish spf info for ISP's who do not do so themselves?

Ummm, I think it will be opening a real can of worms if your 'proxy'
record causes any third party who has not explicitly requested you do
this on their behalf, loose some mail due to it.

Cheers, Mark.

wrong on your behalf."


Absolutely - and hopefully they will be shamed into actually doing it.
