Right. So we've imposed all this breakage, and still haven't got any

problem as we had before. Only instead of listing IP addresses in our
'reputation database' we are now listing domain names.

Seems like the whole exercise was fairly pointless.

SPF protects my domains from being used by malicious persons / programs,
and therefore SPF is very useful for me. It will stop the flow of
bounces (already has done so as it appears, haven't received buckets
full of bounces for months now), it will stop the misuse of my domains
and the complaints that flow from it. So in one word: yay spf!

I also think there's nothing wrong with srs. Works perfectly.
