People, please don't feed the trolls!  At best this is someone who is
clearly completely clueless.  I wouldn't be surprised to learn that this
was a spammer who recognizes he'll have a serious problem spamming once
SPF is in full force!

Besides, if you make $10K profit a week, spend the $100/month on your own
mail server and accept as much e-mail as you like.  Set up an SPF record
for YOUR domain and then maybe your mail won't be blocked by my server.
