Re: SPF adoption rate 16.7% - or 50.2%? or 9%?

Alessandro Vesely — 2008-11-17T08:12:03

original survey url: http://dns.measurement-factory.com/surveys/200810.html Lars Eggert, a researcher at Nokia, tracks SPF adoption since last year, after Frank's suggestion, and got quite different figures: from 59% in top US domains to 23% for organizations hosting IETF authors (average 32%). http://utility.nokia.net/~lars/meter/spf.html The former survey was run on 1M randomly choosen .com/.net domains, the latter on top used domains from alexa + ietf emails. Yet another statistic, also based on alexa, says 9% http://spf-all.com/stats.html More?

SPF adoption rate 16.7%

Steve Yates — 2008-11-10T16:31:27

Not sure if this is "news" or a FAQ item on how many people use SPF, or what. From: http://www.infoworld.com/article/08/11/10/Survey_One_DNS_server_in_10_is _vulnerable_1.html "Liu said that on the positive side, the survey turned up several items of good news. For instance, support for SPF -- the sender policy framework, which combats e-mail spoofing -- has risen over the last 12 months from 12.6 percent of the zones sampled to 16.7 percent." - Steve Yates - ITS, Inc. - Tagline file TAGLINES.TXT corrupt.

Updated SPF and IPs

Gabriel Dumitrescu — 2008-08-21T08:12:24

Topic: The SPF website Name: Gabriel Dumitrescu Organization: Hi. I am not used to emails protocol, SPF, etc, but I have to setup an outbound gateway directing emails to a third party SMTP server. And I am told the followings (by Google Apps in a help page): _spf.google.com.300INTXT"v=spf1 ip4:216.239.32.0/19 ip4:64.233.160.0/19 ip4:66.249.80.0/20 ip4:72.14.192.0/18 ip4:209.85.128.0/17 ip4:66.102.0.0/20 ?all" My question is: how can I check an updated information regarding IPs? (for SPF I read on your SPF site about the validator - http://www.kitterman.com/spf/validate.html). That validator provides SPF records for a domain, but no IPs. Is this information (IPs) public, or each domain keeps this secret as to avoid bad guys (SPAM people) to use it? Thank you in advance for your kind assistance. Regards, Gabriel Dumitrescu

Topic: The SPF website Name: Fernando López Santoveña Organization: IATA-CSIC In the message copied below, it is finally suggested to contact the postmaster of the sending domain. Since the message has been apparently missrejected by the receiving domain, I think it would be better to suggest contacting postmaster at hostytec.com instead of iata.csic.es As postmaster at iata.csic.es I have no data about the reasons of hostytec.com to reject our message. -----message read in openspf.org website------------------------- h0036.hostytec.com rejected a message that claimed an envelope sender address of fernando< at >iata.csic.es. h0036.hostytec.com received a message from linneo.iata.csic.es (161.111.212.22) that claimed an envelope sender address of fernando< at >iata.csic.es. The domain iata.csic.es has authorized linneo.iata.csic.es (161.111.212.22) to send mail on its behalf, so the message should have been accepted. It is impossible for us to say why it was rejected. What should I do? If the problem persists,

Re: Why Issue/Feature request

Frank Ellermann — 2008-07-02T20:29:17

[old] [Scott] [Frank] It's about the "WHY was my message rejected" blurb, IMO that is not the place to discuss accepting FAIL for the purposes of training spam filters, or similar ideas. IMO it's about the minimal fix to keep SMTP afloat... ;-) Never use those auth-words, somebody will always whine. {Stuart] Works if it's followed by the some "was rejeceted for reasons unrelated to SPF" explanation (see above). I'd prefer reject/accept terminolgy where I know what it means (including 2821bis), instead of auth-whatever. Indeed, it depends on the POV. Completely unrelated: I have posted a proposal with three test cases on the devel list after a developer was tempted to ignore four existing siumilar test cases, because a Windows DNS API confuses "domain" and "hostname".

Re: Re: Why Issue/Feature request

Stuart D. Gathman — 2008-07-01T22:41:46

I would not say anything about accepting or rejecting. SPF is about authenticating/authorizing[*] MFROM. For instance, SPF pass tells me I can blacklist an entire MFROM domain without worrying about whether they were forged. And SPF fail could be a hint to accept an email to train a content filter. How about "Was authentic/authorized according to SPF"? I guess the problem is that end users wouldn't know what that meant. [*]It is controversial which.

Perl, contact, and all the rest (Re: Why Issue/Feature request)

Frank Ellermann — 2008-07-01T10:32:57

But this would imply that I don't exist... :-) Seriously, something with the contact form is broken, folks keep sending support requests to this list. If they do this intentionally I'm lost why. If I look at the perl source this should only happen if it is intentional: https://www.openspf.org/source/spf-website/modules/contact-form/lib/SPFProject/Website/ContactForm.pm?rev=27&view=markup But if I look at the "real" contact form this says "help request", not "support request" as in the source, therefore there can be a "real" bug elsewhere. Where is the "real" contact form if it is not the contact form source ? Frank
