SPF and SSP will have similar problems. With SPF, you have pointed
out the RFC1123 5.3.6(a) issue that may cause those concerned with
the resulting disappearance of messages to use the '?' qualifier,
which is fairly common.
This is completely contrary to my experience. Because I use shared MTAs,
almost all e-mails I send have an SPF NEUTRAL (?) result. In about a year
and a half of doing this, I've had exactly 3 e-mail messages rejected (not
disappeared by the way) and they were all the result of configuration errors
on the distant end (2 of the 3 thanked me for pointing out their error). As
far as I know, I've had NONE disappear.
So, even if you start out with the premise the SSP is like SPF (I don't think
that's right either), nothing that follows in the original e-mail is correct.
