129	Publish an SPF record for scripts.mit.edu / get scripts.mit.edu DNS delegation	andersk		"According to the [http://www.maawg.org/sites/maawg/files/news/MAAWG_Senders_BCP_Ver2.pdf Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group], all outgoing email providers should publish [http://www.openspf.org/ SPF records] for mailing domains.  We should try to publish SPF records for scripts.mit.edu and scripts-vhosts.mit.edu.

It is not as easy to publish SPF records (which are DNS TXT records) at MIT as it is elsewhere, and it would be a particular pain if we had to change it frequently, but we have a few options.

 * Publish `""v=spf1 a:scripts1.mit.edu … a:scripts8.mit.edu -all""` and assume it won’t need to change frequently—eight servers will almost certainly last for a long time.
 * Ask for DNS delegation for scripts.mit.edu (which would be nice for other reasons, especially if we want to do per-locker load balancing some day).
 * Publish `""v=spf1 redirect=scripts.sipb.org""` or something so we can serve the real record from elsewhere.
 * Publish a lame SPF record like `""v=spf1 ip4:18.181.0.0/16 -all""`."	enhancement	new	major		mail
