[anti-abuse-wg] AS16019, vodafone.cz == idiots

They shot themselves in the foot.

The email was sent to abuse at vodafone.cz

It apparently forwards on to spamrd at vf.dkm.cz and this forwarding breaks SPF, and domains with strict -all SPF records like RFG's tristatelogic.com will fail SPF validation.

I guess it is an interesting way to cut down on abuse, as measured by reducing traffic to your abuse mailbox.

    That would be fine, BUT... there isn't a goddamn single thing wrong with
    my domain's SPF record.

    The brain damage is on THEIR END.  Apparently they don't even know how
    to check SPF TXT properly.

    Yea, there's that also.

    Basically, it is stupid layered on top of stupid.

    It's a stupid sandwich.
