Apparently AOL just added SPF records to their domain today!
Wow, that's impressive. I hope Yahoo and Hotmail follow suit. That would be enough to sway the rest of the smaller providers I think.
I'm about to fire of an email to my own ISP saying "AOL did this, so why don't you?".
I've actually blocked 3 spam because of this already, and I am well pleased.
This means that if your SMTP server is SPF enabled, you will suddenly get a LOT less spam from addresses ending in "aol.com"
I'll look into enabling this in my Postfix.
http://spf.pobox.com/downloads.html has something for Postfix, also qmail, perl, python, and "soon" there will be a C library for easy integration into everything else.
unless they are actually sent via a real AOL SMTP server.
Unlikely as AOL imposes all kinds of limitations to reduce spamming attempts (limit on number of recips per message, limit total number of messages/day, etc), and they aggressively close delinquent accounts.
That is excellent news!
