(Rude side note:  You are using an outgoing mail server that you don't
trust.  This is a problem that you need to correct.)

No.  I trust the mail server to only be used by authorized users.  It's the
other users I don't trust.

This is the case for EVERYONE that uses a shared MTA.

I do not have the time or expertise to run my own and it isn't affordable
for me to pay someone else to run an MTA just for me.

If SPF PASS==Not a forgery, then a lot of shared MTA users are going to get
burned because the wizards we have now, don't take this situation into
account.  There is a risk associated with asserting PASS and people need to
understand that.
