There is a group forming of companies who see the worst effects of the
phishing problem.
The issue is not getting these people to authenticate, its getting the ISPs
to reject.

Good call, paypal.com is indeed one of the domains that seem
to be forged
often, in fact so often that legitimate PayPal messages
resulted in false
positives in my bogofilter.
As I've recently received a spam forgery for blackstar.co.uk
(a British DVD
shop who have donated thousands of pounds to Perl development), I've
informed them of SPF as well. That's possibly the best way to get SPF
adoption: simply inform the owners of domain names who have
been forged.
