Yikes, manually editing files in far off corners??? :-(
"The Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is the first sender authentication to
arrive on the market, and AOL, Yahoo, and Hotmail, have all now implemented
it."
"Currently only AOL 9.0 provides senders with notice that a SPAM report has
been made. These senders would then process these notices and add the SPAM
reporterâs e-mail address to the clientâs private "Do Not Send" list. As other
e-mail account providers begin to provide similar notification, this
functionality will be hopefully extended to cover..."
As I see it, this is the only way this is going to work. In other words, a
person clicks the 'Report Spam' button or whatever, and then every thing else is
done automatically (no manual editing of files or DNS records with zonedit
or...)
I do not know how this will impact the Ringlink program, but I do notice
with AOL that I am now getting little or no spam, but when I look in the Spam
folder, I find allot of e-mail that is not spam, notably WebRing/RingSurf
notifications that someone has joined a ring or.... Clicking the 'This is not
Spam' button doesn't seem to accomplish much for these webring systems??? Must
say, it is rather fitting that I now have to wander through all the filth in my
Spam folders to manage my WebRing webrings! ;-) This never happens for Ringlink!
So, it seems WebRing and RingSurf are going to have a bigger problem with this
than Ringlink?
