It's hardly fair to criticise SPF for failing to do something it was never designed to do. SPF is designed to prevent phishing and spoofing and it seems to do a good job of that.=20 Besides, if spammers are openly advertising which domain they are sending from, it should be much easier to blacklist them or prosecute if they're breaking laws (yeah I know that's wishful thinking but you never know). Give it a chance. --=20 Michael Luke - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
