That is a very, very important point that I hadn't seen come up
before. That helps a *lot* with the "But spammers will just publish their
own SPF records" argument.

please be serious. If a single vote saying a spam trap has been hit
would be sufficient to block an e-mail server, this would open up a
simple way to shut down virtually all e-mail traffic within minutes. You
wouldn't want that kind of DOS attack, would you?
Best wishes and regards,
