Re: Spammers Skirt IP Authentication Attempts

Although SenderID (or whatever the final name is) is not completed yet, SPF has been around for a while and some people have been using it. But who? Do domains with SPF records have fewer phishing attacks? Fewer virus bounce-backs? Fewer spam forgiers? According to the Anti-Phishing Working Group, these are the most phished companies. How many are using SPF? I checked the most obvious domain name for the companies (.COM and their country variant e.g. .CO.UK) Company Name Has SPF TXT record Citibank NO eBay NO US Bank NO Paypal NO Fleet NO LLoyds NO Barclays NO AOL YES Halifax NO Westpac NO FirstUSA NO VISA NO Earthlink YES e-gold NO Bank One NO Bendigo NO HSBC NO MBNA NO Suntrust NO Verizon NO
