Re[10]: [spf-discuss] Trying to understand the best recommendation for my client, help appreciated.

as  otherwise your just dumping mails in a queue dir and letting the
smtp  server  find  them and essentially make up the envelope-sender
{which it apparently does by taking the sender: header and mis-using
it} thus all the issues 

but nice to know this is why so much bad sending practice from IIS
hosted sellers, its not their fault its the default in their tools




Thanks,

Ben

Good idea. I am answering it off-list. 

my view sod it! if help not wanted from those with expertise let them go and
f*ck up however they want

as to the libraries and OS/programming details

no, familiarity is unimportant to anyone but the programmer

a good programming team {i have been involved in many} has a protocol expert
assist to ensure protocol/BCP adherence
I just needed the api details /manual {but as i say if their to lazy to post
the uri, why should we bother}
to see if it can do the job and if it can advise on all the points where
they may /not adhere if not explicitly specifying values

in your case the datapoints without seeing the manual are

if you had bothered i could have told you where they are specified

IP{s} ensuring its has FcRDNS, ensuring FcRDNS has SPF-deny and csv-deny so
trojans and malware can't degrade the reputation of the mailer
helo/ehlo ensuring it adheres to RFC , has SPF, has CSV, points at all IP(s)
above, and in BCP is not==FcRDNS but is on same domain
mail from: <envelope sender> ensuring adheres to RFC ,it has SPF for IP(s)
above}, has MX's, is read/handled correctly

and in the mail
date:  ensuring adheres to RFC
message-id: ensuring adheres to RFC
from: ensuring adheres to RFC , has sender-id, passes dkim/domainkeys if
domain has these, has MX's, is read/handled correctly
{and if issues with sender-id,  dkim/domainkeys ensure sender: or other
workarounds are employed}

and any other as required by content being sent and origin {ie if web mail a
received: header showing protocol as http and originating ip and via for any
proxies}
