There's a discussion on Slashdot today: http://ask.slashdot.org/story/09/12/17/2359241/Are-You-Using-SPF-Records?art_pos=7

I looked at the Slashdot discussion, and I see a few good comments, but mostly a flood of ignorance. The "firehose" I think they call it. I tried to submit a new topic myself, but I don't know if it was ever received. The interface to this website is bizarre. The help page is no help: It says to select a category for the new topic, but there is no way to do that on their submission page.
From the number of comments on the SPF article, it seems like there should be plenty of interest in email authentication, and email systems in general. I wonder if we could promote Citizendium that way. My guess is they prefer "breaking news". --David MacQuigg 19:42, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
