PS: The number of domains with SPF records is interesting but just for me, I
could add 1000 domains to the list and it would meen nothing...  Actually,
only the domains we use for mailing have SPF records.

PS2: Thinking of it, in fact, it would be good to add record indicating that
NO smtp server should use those domain's names.

There was a net increase of 2040 domains with SPF records, a 32.3% 
increase in the last month.  SPF records are now the most common type 
of TXT record usage, surpassing the "unix epoch timestamp" that is 
found in many zones.

In the ".fr" zone (241984 domains), we have 46 domains with SPF, so 
much less than your measures.

I guess that this could be a problem of the French language that is 
spoken in France and the other Frech speaking countries.

Perhaps this does not match the people in France but in Switzerland the 
French speaking people defenatly do not want to speak another language. 
Even if they can. I know many french speaking people the CAN speak 
German. But they DO NOT speak German. They hate speaking another 
language then French. Finaly I learned speaking French to be able to 
communicate with the French speaking people.

I could imagine that it is a similar problem with English. I only know 
very very view French people they are speaking an UNDERSTANDABLE English 
(they exist but they are very very rare).

And I think most of French people do not read any english written 
journals. And I do not know if there are any articles in the french 
written journals like in the Linux Journal about SPF. So French people 
perhaps simply do not know SPF.

PS: I live about 15 km away from France in Switerzland near Basel. 
During the day there are working more french people in Basel then swiss 
people. Most of them do not know what a "computer" is. They only know 
the word "ordinateur" (the French word for computer). So how should they 
communicate with the rest of the world if they use different world for 
everything. I only know one french word that is equal to other 
languages: Internet. And I'm no sure if it is really a french word.
