Thanks, but I'd prefer to stick with sendmail till the end of its days. Or at least till the first usable sendmailX/MeTA1, whatever comes first...

Finally someone who does not suggest me to switch to other MTA! btw, It is strange, there is a milter for SenderID (which iirc is in some way close to Microsoft) in portage tree, but nothing for openSPF. I will try to make an ebuild. Maybe there are still more real unix admins using old'n'good sendmail. But no flame over which MTA is better, please.

Or they have a pointy haired boss who doesn't actually USE it, but insists that the staff do. Such folk are much better off with an alternate. I just needed to know which camp you were in.

My advice is to migrate to postfix (best all-round MTA out there unless you have special needs) and google again for the HOWTO.

Re: [gentoo-user] SPF sendmail: howto?
To enable SPF on outgoing mail all you have to do is create a SPF record and put it in your /var/bind/domain.tld.hosts file, assuming your using Bind. That's all I did and when I send email to Google its says... Received-SPF: pass (google.com: domain of ja...@jasoncarson.ca designates 69.196.152.151 as permitted sender) client-ip=69.196.152.151; I use Postfix and recommend you switch.
