my offer is at the server end - practically it is just two things:

adding dnsrbl.russell.linux.org.au to dns zone file

and to add the new dnsbl.russell.linux.org.au to main.cf - smtpd_client_restrictions
(on postfix  at russell.linux.org.au at 192.55.98.188) 

the moderators will have less spam to filter/approve manually - makes
life easier in the long term and also gives russell.linux.org.au
complete control - and that is for all the lists - all at the same
time :)

Enforcing SPF in a world where not everyone has yet adopted SPF is
dramatic

and the ultimate argument against strict SPF:

most domains anyway still have ~all - which simply means that as a
measure SPF is just another tool and not the tool.

Even gmail.com :: dig TXT @
_spf.google.com.        299     IN      TXT     "v=spf1
include:_netblocks.google.com include:_netblocks2.google.com
include:_netblocks3.google.com ~all"
 
Maybe a combination of spf and dkim - or seriously look at my post
again, it is very cool and empowering to control your own last mile...

Anyway, do you know of any partners that I can work with in AU or
anyone that may be interested in new tech - new products, etc ?

thanks Russel :)
