The odd recent anon addition "Mang Wong who was maked" presumably relates to this Hungarian-language article (http://pcforum.hu/hirek/?qnid=8396&ri=rss). If someone can read Hungarian and write English, please fix the sentence to make sense (or eliminate if this is of no significance). -- Jmabel 20:39, 31 May 2004 (UTC)
- I can't read Hungarian, but at least I know what Meng's name is; changed. Marnanel 21:48, 31 May 2004 (UTC)
It would be very nice if your introduction to SPF explained how "receivers that implement SPF will know to ignore the message". If the SPF server publishes machine IDs what keeps the spammer from obtaining those IDs as an SPF client and abusing them?
- Abusing them in what way? Marnanel 13:50, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)
this needs correction
SPF does *not* (by itself) validate From addresses -- not the ones you see in your e-mail messages. It validates the "mail from" header in the SMTP protocol itself, which isn't traditionally passed on to MUAs. Basically, the MTA needs to do the work (at least the initial work).
dns records?
Aren't there dns records involved as well?
