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.
It is quite a crappy article. I closed the browser when dear Anne said SPF
"is a fabulous way to authenticate the identity of e-mail senders". SPF does
not authenticate senders; SPF authorizes relays to send mail on behalf of a
domain name found in either the envelope-from or HELO string. There is a BIG
difference between authenticating a sender, and authorizing a relay!
