I appreciate your thoughts Arthur. I also think that SPF shouldn't be a high priority because the functionality is largely there already. I also agree that Sam shouldn't do DKIM until the standard is finalized. I honestly don't know whether that's happened yet or not. I'll look into it. I disagree about waiting for a certain (or uncertain) percentage of servers in a survey before implementing it though. This isn't a feature about convenience or annoyance, it's a feature that will probably have a big positive impact on some peoples lives. I think the fact that PayPal and eBay have already implemented it (months ago) is a strong indicator of its importance. I'd like to know which other major banking institutions have implemented it, but I don't. I expect that Chase and BofA will be doing so as soon as they can though (based on the phishing emails I've seen). Perhaps we can agree to disagree on this one. And like I said, I could be wrong (again). ;) -- -Eric 'shubes' _______________________________________________ spamdyke-users mailing list spamdyke-users@spamdyke.org http://www.spamdyke.org/mailman/listinfo/spamdyke-users
