Shouldn't be your provider's mail server to set it? Both of my SSL-enabled |
| 10 |
mail servers, that are authenticated (GMail and the Italian postal service) |
| 11 |
set this correctly, thus I don't have the SPF_NEUTRAL error on them. |

If you "forge" the Return-Path, by simply not providing any protection about |
| 14 |
its value on the mailserver, nor on the client, then I'd say that the |
| 15 |
SpamAssassin behaviour is perfectly fine. |
