Sorry: sloppy keyboarding (what's new?).
I meant to say ...
> Does anyone here have an opinion (yes ;-) ) on SMTP+SPF?
Yes, we all have opinions, in fact,
our opinions all have their own opinions too.
FWIW: it's too messy for me to comprehend in a sensible timeframe,
and no-one I trust has yet said
"it probably works for the following reasons",
therefore, until this changes, as far as I'm concerned,
it Doesn't Work.
Also, as an aside, the SMTP standards contain various
vague admonitions about maxima, which spf will probably blow ...
(Y'see on the carton, where it says:
"This sendmail is not warranted against buffer overflow"?).

... sometimes, depending on whether the sender uses SPF,
and what decisions your SMTP receiver wants to make ...
In and of itself it does nothing:
when a sufficient number of senders are under it's auspices,
_then_ it may be useful (modulo above concerns).
Dave.
