[opendmarc-users] SPF Whitelisting

Hello,

this is what I am talking about. If I would be able to skip spf check for backup mx, there is no requirement for backup mx to implement dkim/dmarc. The control of the backup mx is not something what is feasible for me. It is a pity it could not be achieved.

The situation is that I use backup mx host which is out of my control and I cannot believe it is checking DKIM/DMARC by itself and I need to check it on the primary mx host. So I want to whitelist the backup mx's IP address to stop SPF failing when receiving messages through it to my primary mx host. But I do not want to use IgnoreHosts option since it will stop DKIM checking for messages received through the backup mx host.
