Re: Re: Re: SPF for Perl Monks domains

I use mail forwarding, and I don't have a problem with Spam. Mind you, I don't know how many emails my server deletes as spam, but it can't be that many, it will display a message about "NN new messages on servers" and fetch around that many messages.

Still, when your proposal for fixing mail forwarding becomes an established standard, let's discuss the possibility again. Alternately, refuse all mail from perlmonks ... how many messages do you receive from there, anyway?

Alternately, refuse all mail from perlmonks It is what I would like to do, but by means of SPF. That way, legitimate mail is not blocked. Without SPF, I would now add perlmonks.org to the blacklist, and would then probably forget about it. If perlmonks.org then would start providing email services for monks, I'd have a problem. SPF moves the administration from the receiving to the supposedly sending end; so only one person has to update the information when it changes, instead of system administrators of all systems that have it blocked.
