[Cialug] Google & SPF

[L. V. Lammert]

Last winter, Google started throwing an SPF error if a relay MTA
(i.e.email forwarded by an email alias) is not in the *source* SPF record,
OR the source MTA must allow relaying by not having "-all" in that record.

Is there any logic behind this, or just Google throwing their weight
around? What ESPECIALLY ticks me off is that Google is the biggest Spam
source we see with all their base64 cruft from middle eastern names.

	TIA!
