Hi Alex,

What point am I missing?  Lets say my ISP uses SPF, and someone sends
me an email outside their ISP's spf-enabled SMTP service.  That's my
email that got blocked by SPF (yes - blocked - go read all the faq's -
they all end up directing you to SMTP rules like "REJECT"!)

Besides that, the FAQs admit that spammers will get around this by
using discardable domains etc, so what's the point? That's what the
spammers will do. Nothing solved.

Kind Regards,
Chris Drake
