v=spf1

< iPod | MAAWG on SPF & SenderID >

The original SPF that most of us read a bunch of years ago stated that a record starting with "v=spf1" should apply to the SMTP MAIL FROM.

SenderID says a record starting with "v=spf1" applies to both MAIL FROM and the "Purported Responsible Address," which is dervied from message headers via a specific algorithm.

The current "Classic SPF" spec says that "v=spf1" applies to both MAIL FROM and to HELO or EHLO.

I can't fathom why the SPF folks are unwilling to just change their version number. Do they really think Microsoft will back down from two years of heavy marketing just because of a bunch of open source geeks?
