> Does that imply that most, or even a relevant percentage of them [block SPF fails]? No. I know some do, but I think it's a minority. (Among commercial spam-filters used mainly by corporations, that is. It could be that some of the larger ISPs block SPF fails outright, which would skew the picture.) What I know for sure is that failing SPF doesn't mean an email is blocked by all spam-filters, because I found several counter-examples. Inspired by this thread, I'm going to do a little more research into this and will try to see if there is any correlation between the SPF status of a spam message and the likelihood of it being blocked. I'll share the results on this list. Martijn. ________________________________ Virus Bulletin Ltd, The Pentagon, Abingdon, OX14 3YP, England. Company Reg No: 2388295. VAT Reg No: GB 532 5598 33.
