Yes, Marc, but here's the secret to that:
YOU DON'T WHITELIST THE SPAMMERS!
Ahem. Sorry about that, but since reasoned explanation hasn't been working I
figured yelling might. You see, nobody is suggesting "whitelist_auth *...@*" --
that would be stupid. What people ARE saying is that
whitelist_auth *...@mybank.domain
can be a handy tool if mybank.domain has properly configured SPF (or DKIM)
records.
That's it. Not the FUSS, not the ultimate hat-checker. Just a way that I can
make sure legitimate mails from $sender get through while forged messages
pretending to be from $sender don't. This ain't rocket surgery.
