[ NNSquad ] Warning regarding SPF records and this mailing list
Greetings and Happy New Year. I think that this is an appropriate time to warn everyone (since I've seen some rejects) that if you're going to send messages via this or related mailing lists, and your site uses SPF domain records, it's important to make sure that those records properly reflect such use -- or else there will be bounces that I will not attempt to manually intercept. After several such bounces, the mailing list system will likely automatically remove you from the list (and you may not necessarily receive an explicit warning to that effect). Frankly, I consider SPF to be highly problematic. Its problems related to mail relays and mailing lists are obvious, and its usefulness in general seems extremely questionable. But if you're going to use it, please make sure that your records reflect the possibility of your mail relaying through any *.vortex.com gateway domain. Thanks. --Lauren-- NNSquad Moderator
