While it is true that best guess isn't recommended anymore and bley should gain an option to switch the SPF mechanism, you should not lose mail with bley at all as mail isn't rejected permanently, just delayed (as per design of bley). Upstream git (which will be released as 0.2 as soon I have some spare time) has an option to disable SPF at all -- mind cook a patch for switching the mechanism too? :) Regards Evgeni -- Bruce Schneier can read and understand Perl programs. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
