AOL Now Publishing SPF Records

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the slowly-gaining-ground dept.

SPF Fan writes "It looks like SPF is starting to catch on with the bigger ISPs. AOL is now publishing SPF records which you can verify with 'dig aol.com txt'. Will Hotmail and Yahoo be far behind? Who else is publishing SPF records for their domains? Slashdot has covered SPF in the past a couple times."

    How does AOL know my SPF and why do they want other people to have access to it? Are they that concered at the prospect of me getting a sunburn?

    You're new here, aren't you? You must have hijacked that 206K account. /. lesson #1: don't read the story /. lesson #2: be paranoid about links... they might go to goatse.cx. It doesn't happen very often anymore, but be paranoid anyway /. lesson #3: post comments that make it blatant you didn't read the story

    Thank you.

    We don't need this in the USA. We have made forging spam email headers illegal! They are going to fade away just like drugs and assualt weapons.
