I'm curious how SMTP receiver implementations of SPF are handling this
statement in the SPF draft, section 8.4 under "Conformance with regard to
receiving e-mail systems":
> Receiver systems SHOULD exclude special recipients such as
> postmaster@ and abuse@ from SPF processing. See RFC2142.
An SMTP receiver won't know the recipient's address until the RCPT command
is received. Does this mean that a SMTP server should accept the MAIL
command even when an SPF test results in "fail" - in case the recipient is
postmaster or abuse @ the local domain?
