what do you mean with backscatter here? SPF usually is not part of the MTA but from any kind of milter/filter add-on > I don't use SPF for spam detection and can't see any benefit from doing > so. ok but you can check if the sender is legitimate (obviously this no criteria about spam yes|no) may be you should look at SID , then together with it SPF makes much more sense of course I agree that the ~ statement in the SPF record is as good as none, so no point at all but it is up to you to configure your server as you wish, to accept a not useful statement or interpret it as fail IMO, who configures SPF with ~all is showing the bird to all ... so I take "the bird action" also on my servers if all would do so, SPF would be taken much more serious by the ~admins and life could be a little better :) Hans -- XTrade Assessory International Facilitator BR - US - CA - DE - GB - RU - UK +55 (11) 4249.2222 http://xtrade.matik.com.br
