Well, I was thinking either - Remove it - Change it to explicitly allow all servers to send @hcoop.net email - Change the recommendation for people to send @hcoop.net email through the HCoop servers.
Or (and I actually think this is probably really a bad idea, but it crossed my mind so maybe I should mention it) - Allow members to request that their local SMTP server be added to the HCoop SPF record. I think this is just more trouble than it's worth, and from what I see on http://www.openspf.org/FAQ/Common_mistakes it looks like only 10 DNS lookups are allowed per SPF record.

It's just that on various lists I have seen people (including, looking back, myself on occasion) who have joined, assumed they know everything, come across as very arrogant, and then a bit stupid when it transpired they don't know everything. Perhaps I have gone to the other extreme... I would apologise, but I guess you would prefer me not to... ;-) _______________________________________________ HCoop-Help mailing list [email protected] https://lists.hcoop.net/listinfo/hcoop-help
