Re: [vps-mail] SPF implimentation

[Jonathan Duncan <jonathan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

That would make sense.  The mere fact that it is not a Simple mail
transfer protocol means that it violates (or better stated,
changes/improves) upon the old RFC.

All I can say is, I encourage people to learn more about this SPF and
other new proposals.  Pick one and implement it.  The more people that
implement them, the sooner we will be able to have a standard and
something that may actually turn the tide in the popularity of my Inbox.
As much as I enjoy getting email, I long for those days that I only got a
couple of message a day and only from people I knew.
