I think the real discussion is: do we still want to allow this 
practice? Given that it opens the floodgates to spam if embodied in 
an spf policy, maybe spf is not a solution here.

for (i=0;i<10000;i++) {
   print "SPF is not meant to end spam.\n";
}

yes, i'm utterly convinced of this fact myself.. i meant of course that it
opens up the floodgates of abuse of your domain. As a corrolary, your domain
will be used by spammers, and that again will get you on blacklists. Better
like this? :)

But I think that if you read my post again, and supress your 
spf-is-not-anti-spam,
you'll be able to see the point (which is not mine btw, i've seen it come by
every now and then on this list).
