Whether you and the other amateur-topic-police* like it or not, the
subject is related to the more general subject matter of the list
(fighting spam) even if it doesn't relate to the more focused subject
matter of the list (spamassassin specifically). And, even then, I
would say that since there is an SPF module that comes with the base
SA packaging, the subject does have a bearing on the more focused
subject matter.
I hope I am speaking for those of us who are not completely anal about
mailing list topics when I say: quit it with the attacks on
only-partially-off-topic message threads. You're worse than the
threads themselves.
(* for people who are actual maintainers of the list, and thus are
"actual-topic-police", if any of them want to correct me, contradict
me, etc., no problem ... but I am more weary of the
amateur-topic-police than I am of the highly charged/highly biased
agenda oriented message threads)
I think I can say that even as a casual user of the list (I only take
care of about 10 smaller mail systems), I find the discussions more
useful than not. I would have little to no use for the direct SPF
mailing list - but in so far as it applies to anti-spam, I'm more than
interested in pros and cons. Marc's brought up some arguments that are
useful to me, so have others (both for and against)
To throw in my two bits (inflation), I have no published an SPF record
for any of my domains.
