Marc: use SPF to prevent backscatter? Was RE: [AMaViS-user] Q about mail proxy servers and setups

From: Michael Scheidell <scheidell(at)secnap.net>

One thing I would like to see (and this is a different subject: Marc: take note: Id like to NOT BOUNCE an email back to the victim of backscatter if they bothered to publish SPF or SENDER ID records that don't match the incoming.

(and, yes, this would NOT work behind a proxy)

I would like the proxy to at LEAST have a copy of the valid userlist, NOT muck with the headers.
MAYBE do its load balancing via bridging rather than store forward. That might fix a lot. But then again, it would be easier to replace the proxy than fix it.
