Re: [swinog] to SPF or not to SPF

Nowadays, every sicko can buy a .com domain for 9$ or even less. Spammers buy domains, put correct SPF records in their zonefiles and throw the domain away afterwards... (just like you did with hotmail accounts a few years back :-))

So IMHO DNS based spam fighting doesn't work. At least not the SPF way...

Cheers, Viktor

Use DomainKeys instead of SPF. DomainKeys serves the same purpose, but doesn't share the fundamental brokenness of SPF.

And why not using the existing authentication protocol on outgoing smtp server ? So the sender can use the smtp server of the provider of its email address from any network and SPF can work without any problem.

Did i forget anything ?
