Subject: Re: [spf-discuss] Maybe simple question

If we decide that a solution must solve 100% of the problems we
will never get one, and will be stuck where we are for the rest
of eternity.  If we pick a solution that solves most of the problems,
and the unsolved parts are well understood then we've made good
progress.

Such a solution already exists, and it's as secure as you keep your
password.  Of course, it's the one I created.  I don't mean to beat the name
in trolling, so I just won't say the name this time.


and spf will
tell the victims that it's really Joe sending the spam.

No, it'll tell them that joe's email address sent the spam,
and that it must have come through a machine allowed to
send email from joe's domain.

If you don't think that's the same thing...  Kudos to you.  But I think most
people will think "It was authorized to come from joe(_at_)joe(_dot_)com, so 
unless the
authorization process is hacked, Joe really sent it."
