We find it to be a useful test to eliminate spam that forges a customer domain when sending to that customer. Beyond that there is no use for pass results, and minimal for fail results... the latter being because many administrators have set up SPF but let their users send through unlisted SMTP servers, thus causing fail for valid email. My list of SPF dummies seems to grow every week as a result.
However, we will continue to use it to cut down on forgeries.

Is it worth the time now to set up SPF records, and is it reducing spam? We have about 100 domains, and setting up SPF for all of them will be time consuming, but if it is now implemented and used by enough ISPs/etc., we have the time and resources to do it at this point. Just looking for opinions... But let's not turn this into a flamefest or anything :) Thanks for your time, Marc To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
