Mailing List Archive: Sender-id records

I am considering checking for spf2.0/mfrom records when there is no v=spf1
record. Does anyone have stats on whether any of these actually exist?
(I do not plan to check PRA given patent issues and general uselessness of
doing so.)

If both v=spf1 and spf2.0/mfrom records exist, then I will give the v=spf1
record precedence. I don't think this is addressed in either spec.

Please inform us if you figure this out. I consider
to deprecate this zoo: Either v=spf1 or spf2.0/pra,
aything else only muddies the water. Four records
(TXT+SPF, SPF+PRA) are bad enough for folks wishing
to test PRA.

IMHO nobody needs v=spf1 op=pra or spf2.0/mfrom,pra
or spf2.0/pra,mfrom shorthands, it's only confusing.
