A lot of people would see that as the "ultimate dream" but I

more realistic to assume that SPF will grow and probably
change a couple

be years. At first I see it as being a small hit to the
filter score,
which along with several other factors might help detect
spam. Eventually
some sites will start to block on it (like universities and small
companies) but they will probably be seen as the fringe or at
least the
bleeding edge.
So, if isp.net publishes SPF records, and you get an email tomorrow from a
source other than the ones listed in the SPF record with a from @isp.net,
you wouldn't bounce it, just lower its spamassassin score?
I think I agree with just about everything you said.
A minor note, here I meant to say "not having SPF info published" would
lead to a small hit to the filter score, at first. If SPF is published and
the test fails, I would always bounce (or in the case of SpamAssassin which
may not have that choice, downgrade quite harshly)
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
