Up until now, using the confirm mode was the usual built-in preventative
option for spoofing.
http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/1.8d/owner/owner.html#2.12.6
Briefly: <pasted from a similar page>
If you want to make your list less prone to spoofed/forged posts, you
can use the "Confirm" parameter with the Send= keyword in your list
header configuration(see examples below). The Confirm parameter will
cause the list to generate a confirmation request that is sent to the
address shown in the From line of the message being posted. The person
at this address will then have to reply to this confirmation request
giving the OK for the post to be accepted. This will cause an extra
step for the posters, but this may be worth the inconvenience to make
your list more secure.
Examples of Send= keyword settings using the Confirm parameter:
For private lists, use Send= Private,Confirm
For public lists, use Send= Public,Confirm
For Edited lists, use Send= Editor,Hold,Confirm
</endpaste>
side note:
Interesting information about SPF... thanks for that link and
information.
