No consensus => tilt ;-)
There's a reason why some of us are able to make a living
out of computers. It requires knowledge, understanding,
education and practice.
Sure, and I also agree that not everyody is a physician.
OTOH the "bogus bounces disease" is no rocket science, it
can hit Joe Sixpack, and he can be in a position where
his only "expert" is wizard.html.
And I'm confident that we'll find a simple explanation
how stuff works for this Joe. After all it's only "define
your borders in the terms of CIDRs - accuracy unnecessary
as long as you cover all sending IPs - expressed by
numbers (ip4) or names (a) or receiving names (mx) or
other stuff as defined in [link]. If you have no clue what
an MX is you probably need it in your policy" etc. with an
explanation of ?all, ~all, -all.
SPF is KISS if you ignore macros, exp, exists, and ptr.
Even 'exists' is relatively simple but nothing for Joe on
the 1st page he reads: http://openspf.org/mechanisms.html
Modulo layout that page is okay precisely as Meng (?) wrote
it back in 2003 (?). For Joe we could offer another view,
simple mechanisms + examples vs. advanced topics like ptr
or exists on other pages.
Bye, Frank
