The discussion was very political (about Microsoft, Richard Stallman, etc). I don't want to get into any of the politics here, as it's not appropriate for this list. But I am interested in the technology aspect. Specifically: 1) Is the technology useful? 2) How does one implement spf on the server side? 3) How does one implement spf on the client side? I most interested in No. 3 above - specifically, is there anything that I must do as an end-user to make use of spf? Thanks in advance, Robert
