You are right that , if egreetings wishes to prevent spammers from
misusing their www.egreetings.com domain, they'll have to set up a TXT
record for www....

So why we are happy here claiming SPF got wide acceptance ?
Almost all servers I've checked has the same common error.

Lucky me, I've changed my configuration ;-)

Even more - creating TXT records for each name in DNS is lame :o((
Need a work-around.

Once more.
Why http://spf.pobox.com/wizard.html promote flawed configurations ?

Or I'm missing something valuable in specs ?
Is there anything on parent domains SPF record search if not found on
original domain ?

I've found only this trade-off in section 4.2 from unified 3-protocol.txt

If the parent domain includes another domain, and that domain one day
loses its SPF record, it is better for the query to abort with
"unknown" than to continue on to a potential "-all".
