This would be the preferred option; hardcoding things into libraries is
so blah.  On one hand it'll be hard to get domains to add that to their
lookups; on the other hand I worry about the VeriSign scenario.  Is
there a better way?

In an ideal world we could give the "legit forgers" a clearly defined
termination date by which time they have to switch to a new way of doing
things.  Until that date we'd all do "softdeny" instead of "deny".  But
that's not realistic.  Tough problem.

Also, finding out who the legit forwarders are, and reaching and
educating them, will be a challenge.  We need the media on our side.
The philly.com "email me this article" isn't such a big deal but people
really care about eBay.

BTW, I am renaming the "dnsl" mechanism to save a byte or two.

The new name is "PI".

It stands for "reversed IP".

No, really!

Latest news: I am publishing new-style records locally to test the new
version of Mail::SPF::Query against.  In TinyDNS I have:
