SPF has never claimed to block spam.
Actually, that's not entirely true is it?
For one thing, the executive summary (on spf.pobox.com) has a heading
"SPF reduces inbound spam."
Reducing spam and blocking spam are two different things. SPF only blocks
one kind of spam: spam with forged headers. What David discovered, if I
understand correctly, is that most (like 99.99%) of all spam is forged, and
so by applying his SPF rules, he has eliminated almost all of his spam. I
too would like to know how many legitimate emails he has blocked.
