I think that may reduce some cases where e-mail from gcc.gnu.org is getting incorrectly marked as spam. All e-mail from addresses @gcc.gnu.org should come from gcc.gnu.org itself. Therefore, I believe the correct SPF record should be v=spf1 a ~all If gnu.org runs bind, then the right entry in the zone file would be gcc.gnu.org. IN TXT "v=spf1 a ~all" Thanks!

And since many of those people don't have shell access on the machine, it's not like they could easily send the mail from there. - FChE ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

I actually think it is very unwise for people to send e-mail using addresses @gcc.gnu.org. gcc.gnu.org hosts software development projects, and is absolutely not intended to serve as an e-mail forwarding address. However, I suppose we shouldn't break people doing that without any notice. Ian ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
