[spf-discuss] Revising SOFTFAIL

2008-01-05 03:36:35
I've read some posts on this list about SOFTFAIL. I agree with
most of them saying it is a debugging feature. As such, it
leaves something to be desired, doesn't it? I'd propose the
following addition:

If example.com says "~ip4:1.2.3.4", then a receiving server
should send a DSN to postmaster(_at_)example(_dot_)com saying something
like

  Hey,
  someone did actually manage to send a message from 1.2.3.4
  Here are the relevant headers...

Nearly a breakpoint, isn't it?

Possibly a mandatory string (e.g. "SPF: SOFTFAIL") either in the
subject or in some other header may help postmasters to properly
collect their debug messages.
