Bullshit


You obviously did not read this article!
Extract:
Last week, Microsoft announced it will check for SPF records in all e-mail
coming into its Hotmail service, beginning October 1, 2004

If you want mail sent by your MTA not be bounced by hotmail.com, you better
have SPF in place before October the first 2004.

The article says that "Microsoft announced it will check for SPF records in all e-mail coming into its Hotmail service, beginning October 1, 2004".

It does not say that Microsoft will reject all e-mail coming into its Hotmail service that does not have a corresponding SPF record.
