[Mimedefang] SPF

[Ken Menzel]

Hi David and all,  Just one more comment on SPF.   I don't have stats 
to back this up,  but I see pleny of e-mails with SPF fails in 
spamassassin.  It helps to increase the score,  I also score a fail 
quite a little high as I seem to get quite a bit of bogus mail 
claiming to be people in my organization.  I am smart enough to 
realize this,  but not all my employees are!

I also find it very easy to whitelist people that publish SPF.

We use cyrus-SASL with sendmail.  Very easy to setup in freeBSD and 
our user can send and pop mail via our server from where ever they 
are.  If we have any freeBSD users interested,  I am happy to share my 
notes on remote SMTP authentication.
