 |
|
There an ebuild for for SPF - libspf2 at:
http://www.libspf2.org/download.html
Though, I couldn't find in in portage.
I would be very interested in implementing SPF to block the spam at source |

just the fact that there is an ebuild does not necessarily mean that if you do emerge it, it will also be automagically used in whatever mail application you have, does it ?
it seems weird that noone arround here seems to care too much about SPF and libspf. i wonder if there are good reasons for ignoring this "feature" and if there are, someone please be so kind to explain to us.
greets. |

| The reason can be the SPF is not widely implemented, so it's a catch 22 situation. I have SPF checks on our mailgateway and SPF records in our DNS servers. But still I receive tons of autoreplays from peoples antivirus software when they are fed a spoofed address from us. Which is quite sad since if they had enabled SPF on their mailgateways then they would never received the spoofed mail in the first place. |
