Well, if for no other reason than that many ISPs insist that you use their mail server for outgoing email and people change ISPs every now and then. Yes, I could ask them all to use the submission port on my server and set up accounts for all of them but most of them also have other email accounts (like gmail) and most of them are not very tech savvy ... > Email security is pretty poor, can we expect to fix it without the users > changing their configurations at all? No, we can't, but SPF is not a good solution. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell
