Are You Using SPF Records?

Posted by timothy on from the spf-50-should-be-enough dept.

gravyface writes "I've been setting up proper Sender Policy Framework records for all my clients for past year or so, hoping to either maintain or improve their 'reputation' in the email universe. However, there's a lot of IT admins I speak with who either haven't heard of SPF records or haven't bothered setting them up. How many of you are using SPF records for your mail domains? Does it help? How many anti-spam vendors out there use SPF records as part of their 'scorecard'?"

    In the summer I like to use SPF-15 or higher. In the winter it's pretty cloudy around here, so I don't bother.

    Do all people you send mails to expect you to send mails to them?
    Did you eventually get no answer to a mail you sent to someone you don't normally send mail to?

    People won't complain about not getting your mail if they don't have a clue that you sent them any mail.
