Maybe you need to do your research. Presently mailservers handling 70% of
the worlds email addresses have announced they will support spf. Most of
these providers have set a date before Oct 1, 2004.
Now they have announced different policies from out right rejection, to a
time line to comply, to a increased rating of email as spam, to additional
filtering on all non spf domains.
Like it or not it appears that spf records will be necessary if one wants
their email to be delivered. Failure to publish spf records will most likely
result in a significant amount of non spf domain emails to be marked as spam
and either rejected, deleted or filter out.
So stop complaining and step up and become part of the solution not part of
the problem.

However, it has been widely reported that MS will start checking for
SPF records on Oct 1.
It is only Microsoft. The broken report on dnsreport.com seems to
imply that suddenly, the Internet will suddenly embrace SPF on
October-1.
