Over 7000 domains that have announced they are publishing. : They include: : [paring down the list a bit] : PairNIC.com I'm a Software Developer at pair Networks, which operates pairNIC. Yesterday (Feb-18) we launched SPF support for our free custom DNS system. All domains registered through us have the option to create SPF records for free. Other DNS providers such as DynDNS, EasyDNS, and eNom have also offered SPF support. It seems that the industry is really pulling behind this standard, we're all working together. Because SPF is unobtrusive, it's easy for DNS providers to support it by allowing users to publish TXT records. It's refreshing to see many providers going a step further to promote SPF as an important offering, and an important technology. Whether it be in service documentation or on the home page. As an ICANN accredited registrar we care very much about protecting the services our users have the opportunity to take advantage of by registering a domain name. It's great to see other registrars and DNS providers working toward this common goal. SPF is finally beginning to move on inertia.
