Gentlemen... There has *not* been a report of any misconfiguration on paypal.com. The report, which I've taken off-list and am actively chasing down, actually *may* indicate that gmail is not consistently blocking broken DKIM signatures from paypal.com (which our ADSP asks and they have voluntarily chosen to honor/implement), but that has not been substantiated yet and I actually don't expect it will be once all the facts are in. But again, that's an off-list issue.
There *is* an on-list issue that John raised and I will respond to his message next. -- Brett On Apr 29, 2010, at 2:12 PM, Michael Thomas wrote: > On 04/29/2010 10:42 AM, Powers, Jot wrote: >> On 4/29/10 10:34 AM, "Michael Thomas"<[email protected]> scribbled: >>> On 04/29/2010 10:23 AM, Al Iverson wrote: >>>> As John Levine mentioned previously, your own posts to this list fail >>>> authentication and end up in many of our spam folders because of >>>> Paypal's SPF policy.
