They don't need to have their own mail servers.  Guess what.  *YOU* can
provide that service for them.  Bzzt.  Wake up.  There's a new business
model waiting for *YOU* to make money with by providing mail server
services for business that cannot afford to lose any mail whatsoever.
Your mail servers accept the mail (my guess is you will choose not to
use SPF at all) for your customers, and your customers then pick up
the mail via IMAPS (that's IMAP using TLS/SSL security).  The ones that
don't need to run a mail server are small businesses that are going to
typically be using Outlook or something similar to read mail, and those
already handle this.

There are business opportunities for YOU to make money in this change.
Stop whining and go get rich!
