Hi, looking for an excuse to test that this list again works for
readers on <http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.mail.spam.spf.deployment>
I've found this interesting article:

Very interesting link...

I'm not sure, but what I understand is that 6.74% is % of "valid domains".

I think "valid domains" is not a "Valid SPF domain" but a domain that
exists, have DNS records etc...
See http://www.usrlocal.com/stories.phtml?sid=1571
"NOT every domain has valid name server records."
"it has been long rumored that every 4 letter combination of domains is
registered. And this may be true, I didn't test for it."

Valid (January) - 2,294,553 (6.19%) ( April: 2,497,026 6.74%)
Invalid (January) - 34,775,337 (93.81%)
Total - 37,069,890 domains



The link from Frank say:
"This brings the SPF total up to 188,330 domains."

So I would say that we have an SPF adoption of:
(188,330 x 100) / 2,497,026 = 7,54 %

Not too far from 6,74% but better ;)
I didn't expect this not so bad number :)

Or may be I am wrong and I forgot something somewhere ?

Does someone have a link to these "current studies" ?
Thank you
