I'm two years into having a '-all' SPF record and today I finally had my
first message rejection due to forwarding.
One of my consulting customers just got spun off and bought by a
different company and so their e-mail is being forwarded from oldcompany
to newcompany. Newcompany rejects based on SPF. I had a bounce in my
inbox the next time I checked for mail. The bounce had the correct
e-mail address in it. I re-sent the message. It took about 30 seconds.
I still don't understand what all the fuss is about.
If you were an automated process, rather than a human, would you have
made out so well?
No, but if I were a well administered automated process, then my admin would
have noticed the rejection in the logs and re-sent the message just as I did
here.
I don't send through automated processes, but for those I know of who do and
who also care about getting all their mail delivered, they consider it a
small price to pay for the reduction in bounces from forgeries and their
ability to defend their name with SPF.
