Ärende: Re: AOL Says "no" to Sender ID
======================================
From: "Geo." <georger@nls.net>

The fact that it's optional is irrelevant, it runs on the sending server yes?

Perhaps this discussion would be easier if you explain something.  What you
said that caught my interest is

"  The article then went on to say that AOL would publish Sender-ID
    information,  They just were not going to perform the extra checks for
    their users.  If you are not an AOL user this is great as it gives you
everything
    you need.  Only AOL users suffer."

So the question I need you to explain is, if AOL is running all the SPF checks,
then the only difference is the PRA and SO checks and without the other end
including SO submitter information I fail to see how SenderID would generate
any more benefit for AOL users than simply doing the SPF check?

That's not real clear but if all you have to work with is the SPF TXT record,
what does SenderID get from that which SPF lacks?

   It's optional and an optimization only.

  So adding a SUBMITTER= entry on the MAIL FROM command is done by the
receiver?
  That makes no sense at all, MAIL FROM command is constructed by the sending
  server.

     You understand it wrong.  The recipient checks.  It wouldn't make any
sense
  otherwise since no spammer or forger would check his own forged emails.

    Actually I believe it does matter because the difference between SPF and
    SenderID is the server side and if I understand it right it is used to
verify
    the sender who is sending the email, ie it's the outbound server that needs
  to
    run it.

       Maybe it is the same or close.  Doesn't matter.  To the rest of the
world
    there is no difference.  Only AOL users lose.

      How does that differ from supporting only SPF? I mean if I understand
  things
      right, Sender ID is SPF plus 2 other server side functions, if AOL says
  they
      will publish SenderID information then that's basically saying they will
      support SPF but not the other two parts that make up the difference
between
    SPF
      and SenderID..
