Hello all, I secure my outbound e-mail with SPF. One of the ports maintainers (garga@freebsd.org) also secures his INBOUND e-mail with SPF. I tried to e-mail garga about a minor doc-bug, and got a bounce, since his mailserver didn't recognize mx2.freebsd.org as a valid MX for danm@prime.gushi.org http://www.openspf.org/Why?id=danm%40prime.gushi.org&ip=69.147.83.53&receiver=parati.mdbrasil.com.br My solution to the problem was a workaround (screw being nice, open a send-pr). However, the fact that this person is protecting his inbox in the same way as I am presents a problem: he's listed as a contact for these ports, and isn't reachable via it (but ironically WOULD be if I had no spf record). In the mean, I recognize that FreeBSD is a volunteer organization, but can there be some kind of either: a) policy requirement that people configure allow rules for the freeBSD mx? or b) modification to the forwarder so it re-sends instead of forwarding? I'd offer to help but my postfix foo isn't what it needs to be. x As technical types, coders, porters, etc, I feel we're beyond the level of "end user" for whom this would be "too complicated". -Dan Mahoney -- "Check it out, it's just like Christmas.
