Thank you all for the suggestions on the article.  I have taken them
into account and will follow the guidelines you presented.  I take care
to present SPF as an anti-forgery technology first and an aid to
anti-spammers second.

| First, SPF will not "solve" spam. Claims that it will are not helpful.
| Acknowledge that SPF is one way to add accountability to SMTP
| transactions  for those who decide to use it, but SPF by itself will not
| stem the tide of  spam.

| SPF will help some domain owners guard against forgery.  There will
| still  be forgery, but those domain owners who choose to use SPF get a
| modicum of  protection.  Spammers who want to get their message out to
| more readers may  start to avoid spoofing with SPF-protected domains and
| move on to the  millions of unprotected domains.  Thus SPF is a
| "necessary but not  sufficient" first step toward addressing forgery and
| adding accountability.
