100%. Also - there’s no way to offer a delivery sla for email. If you have something business critical, let alone anything that affects child safety, pick up a phone and call, or send an officer over to the school. --srs ________________________________ From: Eric Tykwinski <eric-list () truenet com> Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2022 8:14:16 AM To: Suresh Ramasubramanian <ops.lists () gmail com> Cc: nanog () nanog org <nanog () nanog org> Subject: Re: email spam Sorry about the bad examples, but I remember contacting both about issues with SPF multiple times. They both have seemed have to fixed things at least searching my logs for the last week. Most of my customers have had to whitelist them though for past issues.

I’ve been spam filtering stuff at large providers since the late 90s and it never gets any easier to block 100% spam or let 100% legit mail through. —srs --srs ________________________________ From: NANOG <nanog-bounces+ops.lists=gmail.com () nanog org<mailto:nanog-bounces+ops.lists=gmail.com () nanog org>> on behalf of William Herrin <bill () herrin us<mailto:bill () herrin us>> Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2022 7:03:52 AM To: nanog () nanog org<mailto:nanog () nanog org> <nanog () nanog org<mailto:nanog () nanog org>> Subject: email spam Hello, To folks at places like Google and Godaddy which have gotten, shall we say, overzealous about preventing spam from entering their systems, consider the risk: https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2022/08/23/fairfax-county-counselor-solicitation-minor/ "Chesterfield County police said emails notifying Fairfax County Public Schools that an employee was arrested and charged with soliciting prostitution from a minor were not delivered to the school system." Long story short, the pedo kept his school job another year and a half. There was once a time when both the outbound emails and the bounce messages when they failed... worked. It was a spammy place but the important emails got through. Regards, Bill Herrin
