Chris, when a DNS client does the query, I don't think the "client" would be expected to should add a "space" at the end of each line separated by a <cr><lf> pair. Each line will be concatenated without a space. I was one of the original implementers of SPF back in 2003 with WCSAP (wcSAP - Wildcat! Sender Authentication Protocol[^]) and daily statistic since that time ()[^].
I haven't seen the fix yet. 
Have a good day.

The codeproject.com SPF record is now fixed.
This is some anti-spam advice. When you first added a SPF, you had a -ALL hard failure. This was great because it allowed for fast deterministic rejections of spoofed codeproject.com domain mail. The current one is a SOFTFAIL (~ALL) result which means that receiver systems are no longer sure because YOU are no longer sure. So we most systems WILL NOT reject it. What it does is add pressure to the receiver system to perform heuristic and "iffy" subjective filtering systems and overall, it makes it much harder to filter the spam. The CODE is more complex. You relaxed for business reasons of course, you have "partners" out there that is sending junk to us perhaps. So be it.
But if you want to protect against negative branding of your codeproject.com domain, you will need something stronger. Today, that would be DMARC.
To use a softfail, you will need to add DMARC record to bring back some fast anti-spoofing deterministic. I don't know your mail is DKIM signed, so you will need to do that as well, you can't do DMARC without doing DKIM. Here is a WIZARD that I recently put today for the newer DMARC thing.
[^]
All that just because you switched from -ALL to ~ALL SPF record.
Anyway, thanks for the SPF change.

No we don't.
I'll pass on your suggestions to the guys in charge of our network and get them to take a look.
All I want is email to work safely, securely and reliably. I've never understood why it's all so hard.

When a message is on moderation and reported as spam by a protector, there will be email notifications if the message is a reply to a forum message or posted on an article forum. They are also shown on top of the page (new messages).
This can be really annoying.

We've backed ourselves into a corner, architecturally, on that one. We can fix it but it'll need a serious overhaul of the workflow. I'll add it to the TODO.

Don't you hate it when that happens?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Is it possible to submit an article update without having a silent encoding in <pre> blocs ?
I want to do this in the article:
<TODOLIST PROJECTNAME="My TaskList" FILEFORMAT="10">
<TASK TITLE="My first Task">
<TASK TITLE="My sub task">
<COMMENTS>My comments</COMMENTS>
<CATEGORY>MyCat</CATEGORY>
</TASK>
</TASK>
<TASK TITLE="My second Task">
</TASK>
</TODOLIST>
<span class="highlight" ><TODOLIST <span style="background-color:lime">PROJECTNAME=</span><span style="background-color:pink">"My TaskList"</span> <span style="background-color:lime">FILEFORMAT=</span><span style="background-color:pink">"10"</span>></span>

All markup except specific (eg span highlight and B/I) are automatically encoded. Yes, this stops you doing crazy stuff like you're suggesting, but on balance it avoids a TON of messed up HTML in code blocks.
You could wrap the markup you want in TT tags with a background colour:
<TODOLIST PROJECTNAME="My TaskList" FILEFORMAT="10">
<TASK TITLE="My first Task">
<TASK TITLE="My sub task">
<COMMENTS>My comments</COMMENTS>
<CATEGORY>MyCat</CATEGORY>
</TASK>
</TASK>
<TASK TITLE="My second Task">
</TASK>
</TODOLIST>
cheers

OK will try.
What is not fun is that the wysiwyg editor don't follow the same rules.

I'm consider a new member here although I have joined this site about 4 months ago but seldom to contribute or ask questions here.
Until yesterday, I wanted to help some of the developer to solve their problem, their code are not formatted. It's hard to read their code. Can we help them to format so it is more readable ? Thanks

You can edit questions and reformat their code in Quick Answers

Doesn't he need Silver reputation first?

Well, if you're going to get all technical on me...
(OK, yes. You're correct)

How many points are considered as Silver reputation ?
|
|
|
|

It depends on the track, but 500 or 1000. You can see the list here at the bottom:

Yes we do.
Given it's the Christmas break we're a little slow, but we'll certainly have a word with the offending party.

It's Wordpress.com so this is an easier one. I filed the DMCA report with Wordpress.com, now we wait for the wheels of justice to turn.

... put it on "My Settings" webpage somewhere.
It's just plain hideous where it now STANDS. I don't know why it bothers me so much but it just does. Or you could remove it altogether.
It started appearing a few months ago in both IE and Firefox.
Thanks.

I'd disagree - it's in a relatively sensible place.
"Settings" would be odd, given that you have no control over it and can't change it yourself.
It needs to be somewhere, and at least it's easy to find - particularly if you are new to the site. If you don't like it, don't look at your own page!  (You only see it on your own page, I can't see it on yours)
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

So you've got this thing smack dab in the center of "OriginalGriff - Professional Profile"?
If not in "My Settings" then NOT anywhere under my RedDk; I mean it's a message, and an ugly one too, full of tips and pointers, and markup think-speak, there's an image control armed-to-the-teeth "if YOU had a BLOG, this is what it would look like", and the whole concept ignores the simple fact ... I don't have a blog!
Here. How about a link to this same message just north of "Post a new blog entry". A link is short-cut to another webpage where ... the maintenance guys (hamsters, small sheep, etc) have something to tell me about the immediate neighborhood.
Done shouting. Thanks for the reply.
