Re: [spf-discuss] Re: [srs-discuss] Re: SRS whitelist

Also a tiny bit of background on why I asked.  One of our e-mail forwarding
customers is using an ISP that rejects all SPF failed messages.  Many months
ago we advised them (with various links to the SPF website and various SPF
articles) to ask their ISP to just flag instead of reject SPF failed
messages.  They just came back to us again with the same problem.  I'm
hoping their SPF implementation is set to use the whitelist and we can help
them out that way.  Unfortunately we don't have the resources to implement
SRS or deal with the legal ramifications at this time.

Their SPF implementation is broken (or at least useless for those with
forwarders) unless it provides a way to list forwarders.  All they
need to do is list your IPs in the trusted forwarder list for the
SPF software.  Ideally, the software should accept a domain instead
of an IP list, and you can publish an SPF record so that the IP list
doesn't need to be updated when you change IPs (just the SPF record).

The global trustedforwarder list is just a convenience for end users
who aren't really sure what a forwarder is and couldn't list theirs
to save their life.
