[spf-discuss] Worthiness of SPF by scope: helo, mfrom, and pra

2009-01-20 05:43:30
Hi all,
I'd like to be comforted by usage statistics, but have no data. My understanding of SPF checks by scope is as follows:


helo: could work always, however hostmasters don't usually add all necessary DNS records; easily worked around using address literals.

mfrom: provides some protection (proportional to adoption); requires SRS or other machinery in case of forwarding; difficult to test and debug.

pra: only works for bots, banks, or domains whose users never write to a mailing list (unless the list adds resent-* headers; any?) Visibility is easily worked around using resent-* headers.


Is that correct/agreed?
