[PLUG] SPF records in DNS zone files

[Rich Shepard]

  Are folks adding spf records to their dns zone files? Aracnet did so for
my domain when I asked this morning. The format is simple:

domain_name.tld		IN TXT	"v=spf1 a mx ptr -all"

  With this in place, spf-enabled MTAs can verify that mail supposedly from
your domain name was sent by a defined mail server at your IP address. Seems
to me this will help reduce spam once spf records are generally implemented.
