Hi list members. I just posted an update to the Thunderbird SPF Extension (now the Thunderbird Extension for Sender Verification) which has support for...
DomainKeys doesn't seem to be working for me, I don't think. When I send a message from my Yahoo account, it's given a result of SPF/guess. Yahoo doesn't use...
... SPF/guess is a passing status, so it doesn't bother with the DK check. It only does DK if an SPF test doesn't pass. If people think DK should be checked in...
... Glad to hear that it's working as designed. That's always good. =) I don't know about the computational or bandwidth costs of each type of verification,...
... In fact, the relative 'accuracy' of DK and SPF/guess isn't relevant. Here's why: Here's the situation (for recap): Domain XYZ does not support SPF. A...
... I disagree. If you want to verify a person's identity, you want to use the most accurate method. Ideally, you'd want to do a DNA test. If you can't do a...
... It's generally best to start with the strongest method first, and stop only when you get an affirmative "yes, this is legit" or "no, this is wrong", or,...
Hi, been testing it against all sort of spam, and I get a lot of that unfortunately. It seems to be performing very well for SPF :-) I have not been able to...
... The extension won't consider 'fail' responses from SPF/guess. It only uses it if it is a 'pass'. ... Okay, well, the extension doesn't support that. :)...
... I guess I wasn't counting on users evaluating the quality of the pass result. ... It's supposed to be doing that. That works for me fine. -- - Joshua...
... Glad you like it. The extension uses the SURBL database (http://www.surbl.org/). I added it initially because it has a database of known phishing...
... I didn't mean that the extension would necessarily "fail" the message, I only meant that SPF/guess would not properly detect the mail as coming from a...
... messages. ... WFM also. I rarely open messages in their own windows, but I've always seen the SPF status in the header section of the preview pane....
... I'm using Enigmail, which does appear in the preview pane in the same place where I'd expect the SPF info to appear. Perhaps Enigmail is "stealing a...
... I have Enigmail (version 0.89.5) and SPF (0.5 obviously) running together (in Thunderbird 1.0RC1) without a problem. Any other extensions? -- - Joshua...
... No other extensions. My "stuff": Windows NT2000 Thunderbird version 1.0 (20041206) Enigmail (version 0.89.5) SPF .21 20041203 I thought I was only one...
... That's definitely incorrect behavior. Does the email have different From: and envelope (Return-Path) headers? Perhaps it's the envelope address that's...
... This is the full source of a test message: =============================================== From - Mon Jan 17 14:10:23 2005 X-Account-Key: account1 X-UIDL:...
... It would have been nice if the previous query.cgi was forwards compatible ;-) I've downloaded the new query.cgi, and am in the middle of downloading the...
(My reply to Evert is below.) ... Yeah, well, all right... ... You can disable DK support, although maybe that defeats the purpose. If you send info on...
... ;-) ... If I want to disable DK support, getting query.cgi to run requires I hand-hack out at least the "use"'s. T'would be nice if the script was either...
... As a FYI, upgrading to the latest SPF plugin doesn't bring SPF results to the preview pane. I managed to get the query.cgi working (how many things did a...
Hi all! I just got a SPAM email that didn't get SPF'ed, simply because it had been dated a day or so in the future... Seems like an easy way to bypass the...
... I wouldn't call this bypassing the filter. The result is equivalent to "sender could not be verified," which users are supposed to understand as "read...
... DNS ... Hmmmm. I can see where it would be useful to ignore older messages, as the SPF information could change. However, spammers do frequently use ...
... That's a good thought. I believe it's only added for messages in POP accounts, though. (I mainly use IMAP which is why it never occurred to me to use...
Hi all! Hmm, I just noticed that the extension reports that 'domain of tauberer@... does not designate permitted sender hosts'... ;-) Joshua... Your own...
