My understanding, please correct me, is that The Federation of
Yorkshire Jelly Wrestlers is responsible for maintaining the right
info in their SPF record. So if they are sending from a different
machine, then the failure of their mail to complete is the
Federation's problem. They *should* realize that their SPF record is
inaccurate when mail bounces for this reason, and then fix the
problem.
Your understanding is wrong. :)
The mail originated from some guy on AOL, [EMAIL PROTECTED], which does
publish SPF records. It's being sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
fyjw.org does not publish SPF, or run any SPF-aware software, because as
we all know, SPF is broken. The nigel_loves_jelly account forwards the
mail on to Nigel's other account, on a machine which _does_ check SPF.
It sees mail supposedly from AOL, but sent by fyjw.org, which is not
listed in AOL's SPF record, so the mail is rejected as a forgery.
