Subject: Re: [spf-discuss] The problems with SPF
I predict that forwarding without sender rewriting will die and SPF (or
an equivalent technology) will succeed, because, overall, authenticity of
sender addresses simply is much more important to users than forwarding
without sender rewriting, which can (from users' perspective) be easily
substituted by forwarding _with_ sender rewriting.
A breath of fresh air from someone who is thinking outside of the norm of
always wanting to live in the past!
It is truly revitalizing to hear a voice of reason in a dialogue that has
otherwise been about how difficult it is to make a change to the manner in
which the sender's e-mail address is handled in forwarded messages. Forwarders
have always been "broken" and it's about time that people realize it is no
longer appropriate to continue to handle forwarded messages in the same manner
simply because "that's the way it's always been done."
Without an active measure of forward thinking, problems like these will never
be resolved . . .
Thank you, Julian!
