SPF is fundamentally broken, in many ways. It was so in 2004, and it is still so today. See <http://bradknowles.typepad.com/considered_harmful/2004/05/spf.html>. Besides, Windows Live insists on SenderID, not SPF. You should do your homework. Either way, if Windows Live Hotmail wants to isolate themselves from the rest of the world as a result of a technology like this, then they will get what they deserve. -- Brad Knowles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
