[Python-Dev] Tracker reviews look like spam

[Antti Haapala]

There's an issue about this at
http://psf.upfronthosting.co.za/roundup/meta/issue562

I believe the problem is not that of the SPF, but the fact that mail gets
sent using IPv6 from an address that has neither a name mapping to it nor a
reverse pointer from IP address to name in DNS. See the second-first
comment where R. David Murray states that "Mail is consistently sent from
report at bugs.python.org, always from the same IP address, 46.4.197.70.
 46.4.197.70 resolves to bugs.python.org.", which clearly is false.
