"the traveling salesman" situation
|
|
I've been very patient . . . waiting for someone more knowledgeable than
I, to say something about this. But no one has . . . so I will.
When I set up email for a company, I use ASMTP. This is now standard
(for at least 3 years) and it is also standard to maintain the server
software so that if a crack is found, the crack is sealed. If one wants
to have a mail server, then a minimum of effort is required to maintain it.
No mail server I have ever set up has cared where the IP was coming from
and with ASMTP, I really did not care. If they wanted to pay AOL, it was
none of my business provided they knew the proper username and password.
I realize that a few ISP's have limited SMTP to certain IP addresses,
but Earthlink (among them) abandoned that I idea if the customer went
through ASMTP.
I also realize that salesmen think they are above the rules. But once
their mail get bounced and a new Outlook Expresss account is set up for
them, the issue is over.
So, if the saleman has an account on the ASMTP server and his client
software knows about it, SPF shouldn't be an issue. The mail goes right
out as if the IP were local.
