[AusNOG] Conspiracy? Manupulation? See it for yourself!

[Tony]

I agree, this is a NOG list, surely most of the people who would be wanting/needing to post to the list are masters of their own DNS/destiny or can work with whoever is to get an entry added  ?

regards,
Tony.

(yes, I'm posting from a yahoo account, do they have SFP/TXT records, I don't know and haven't bothered to check. If it becomes an issue for me not being able to post to the list then I'll happily deal with it)

It is sad that there is so little usage of SPF & TXT records in the wild. If *everyone* has SPF then spam would be heavily diminished. Unfortunately there are just too many people who don't like adding extra records in their zone files.
