However, consider that supporting "-all" for SPF (in order to give SPF

SenderKeys, the integration for MUA is very well defined and very
simple and uses existing protocols.  The MUA simply POPs (or IMAP) the
SenderKeys auto-response, stores the private key and uses it.  STMP
and POP see SenderKeys as just another e-mail, no compatibility issues
as there will be with SPF:



I believe you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how SPF checks are
