The usual comments, but a pretty awesome quote with a ring of truth:

  Everybody should start using SPF. No, it's not the perfect
  solution. Think Saving Private Ryan. SPF is like the guys in the front
  of the boat who get gunned down when the doors open. But without them,
  the other guys (other to-be-developed protocols-or-whatever) wouldn't
  stand a chance.

The fact is we're getting all the flak because we're the best known.
All the other proposals in this space (Caller-ID, RMX, DMP, etc) all
have the same problems we do.

DomainKeys is the only one that doesn't have the forwarding problem, but
it has a whole host of other problems in its turn.

Nothing's perfect, except the ability of the SlashDot audience to
find fault with everything and then congratulate themselves on their
discernment.
