Interim report: (not done yet - still reading)
I see several places that need massaging:
http://www.openspf.org/SPF_Record_Syntax - Describe the purpose of the SPF
record in terms that highlights its use as both a MAIL FROM and HELO check.
http://old.openspf.org/wizard.html - mention HELO in text
http://www.kitterman.com/spf/validate.html - change check near bottom of page
so it checks the HELO, and explains that the HELO is provided by the outgoing
mail server. This is all for admins, not users, so this should be
OK.
http://www.openspf.org/FAQ/Common_mistakes - There is explicit HELO mention
here. I would think that in light of conversation here, we could massage
this to lower the wall between HELO and MAIL FROM.
http://www.openspf.org/FAQ/One_record_for_each_domain - It would be good to work
HELO in here. I would be inclined to tilt the verbiage toward SPF being
an explicit authorization for certain IPs to use the domain name in email
delivery - including the HELO announcement of the MTA.
http://www.openspf.org/FAQ/What_it_does - same here. Can we tilt the
explanation from being a spam gate to being an "email authorization tag"
that can be used by the receiver?
http://www.openspf.org/FAQ/Forwarding - "For HELO checking, no worries, ...."
working.... Spirited discussions can start when I get more specific.
