[spf-discuss] NEUTRAL vs NONE for HELO

2006-06-21 13:05:07
There is one instance where I block an SPF result of neutral, but not 
none.  That is when the HELO name has an SPF record:

  if hres in ('deny','fail','neutral','softfail'):
    self.log('REJECT: hello SPF: %s 550 %s' % (hres,htxt))
    self.setreply('550','5.7.1',htxt,
      "HELO name for this MTA not authorized by published SPF record."
    )
    return Milter.REJECT

My reasoning is that while there are many uses for a neutral
result in MFROM SPF records, there really is no excuse to use it
for HELO.  Comments?
