That is a different issue (that will hopefully be solved by ARC, which
we hope to deploy soon).

Brian is talking about a recent change away from a practice where
when a reviewer would enter his review into the datatracker, it would
originate a mail purporting to be from <reviewer@reviewers.domain>,
and send that out from the server mail.ietf.org, which is not mentioned
in the SPF record of reviewers.domain.

Since this was becoming increasingly troublesome, as more and more
domains were adopting stricter SPF settings, we've stopped sending
mail purporting to be sent by <reviewer@reviewers.domain>, and are
now sending from <noreply@ietf.org>, but we missed adding a Reply-To:
header field that would make replies work as before.

Regards,

	Henrik
