TM domain leads anti-spam charge

Submitted by Karthik on 26 March, 2004 - 11:14

The Register has an article that notes that the .tm registry has implemented the SPF (Sender Policy Framework) protocol into all its domains’ DNS records, in an effort to combat spam.

SPF (Sender Policy Framework) itself is a very simple yet effective method of cutting down spam. Internet domains already have MX records tied in with their basic DNS information that say which mail servers receive email for that machine. All SPF does is provide MX records for the domain’s mail servers that send email.

Rather than implement ideas such as these, everybody wants to introduce email stamps :/
