And he mentions Hadmut by name :-) congrats Hadmut!
The caller ID also requires that you create a separate DNS record for
your domain. SPF doesn't.
_ep.<domain> (I assume that the prefix _ep means 'email policy' - could
mean extra pork.. Who knows.
Here is Microsoft's caller-ID record.
_ep.microsoft.com text = "<ep xmlns='http://ms.net/1'
testing='true'><out><m>"
"<mx/><a>213.199.128.160</a><a>213.199.128.145</a><a>207.46.71.29</a><a>
194.121.59.20</a><a>157.60.216.10</a><a>131.107.3.116</a><a>131.107.3.11
7</a><a>131.107.3.100</a>" "</m></out></ep>"
EVERY _ep record will have the "<ep xmlns='http://ms.net/"; in it.
(hmmm... Every DNS record for every company will have the MS.net link in
it. Apple will choke!) Just the server IPs between the <a></a> tags will
change. (Testing =True and the /1 mean something too. You will have to
read the spec.

Caller-ID over SPF?
Caller-ID is the latest of the "visions" of Bill Gates.
