I'd support that. I'd also support the idea that an SPF report can synthesize the text/rfc822-headers for a message whose content has not actually arrived. All you legally need is a From: field as I recall, and that can be generated based on the rejected RFC5321.MailFrom. _______________________________________________ marf mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/marf
