I agree that SPF alone is not enough - but there are other methods that can

has only limited technical savvy.
Why is a good reputation hard to obtain? Reputation is behavior-based,
and requires nothing on the part of the e-mail user, other than the
normal activity of sending mail, just as is done today.
