Some mail providers require things like rDNS and SPF nowadays.  

I was idly wondering if I could implement a no SPF weight.

It was inspired by a piece of mail I processed today.  The mail said it was 
from someone on the same domain, but when I checked the Declude log, it used a 
completely different sender when processing.

It failed the FROMNOMATCH but I don't put a lot of weight on that one.

The actual sender domain didn't have an SPF record, but the one it was 
"spoofing" did, but that of course wasn't consulted.

I saw this from Message Sniffer:

X-MessageSniffer-Identifier: c:\SmarterMail\Spool\proc\work\-12251304886.eml
X-GBUdb-Analysis: 0, 64.135.42.242, Ugly c=1 p=-0.0621177 Source Normal
X-MessageSniffer-Scan-Result: 0
X-MessageSniffer-Rules: 0-0-0-2622-c

But I didn't see Message Sniffer mentioned in the tests failed.

07/02/2014 09:22:08.173 -12251304886 Tests failed [weight=2]: 
CATCHALLMAILS=IGNORE[0] CATCHALLMAILS-1=IGNORE[0] CATCHALLMAILS-2=IGNORE[0] 
CATCHALLMAILS-3=IGNORE[0] CATCHALLMAILS-4=IGNORE[0] NOLEGITCONTENT=IGNORE[0] 
IPNOTINMX=IGNORE[0] UBL=WARN[4] MAILSPIKE-H4=IGNORE[-4] FROMNOMATCH=WARN[2]

I should probably comment out MAILSPIKE-H1-H4 since it gave a negative weight 
to a phishing message here.

I don't think there is that capability, but I'm also don't think there would be 
much value in it.  An extremely high FP rate would be expected from a test like 
that.

I see these:

SPFFAIL      SPF FAIL     x         8 0
SPFPASS      SPF PASS     x        -1 0

How do I ding people that don't even have an SPF record?
