[spf-discuss] Does anyone actually filter by spf records?

2005-11-17 13:03:23
I set up a spf record for my domain. I tested my text record out on http://www.seoconsultants.com/tools/spf/ . text record seems to work fine. FYI, this is what it is, real simple:
v=spf1 ip4:64.79.160.23  -all

However, when I send an email from an unrelated ip address (should return a hard fail), it still happily gets accepted by Yahoo, Hotmail, gmail, and aol. These emails should not even return in the email box? What gives? I know these domains have spf records, but I am not sure if their email servers actually CHECK other people's spf records and filters by the rules of spf.

Anyone knows what's going on?
