That explains a lot. Earlier you had written:

Indeed. Instead of dedicating a web-page to the subterfuge that SPF, and
other server based systems, are too hard to implement (with arguments that
are pretty lame), he should have been upfront about it, and have simply said
something like, "Regrettably I have no access to a server, but I like to
contribute on the MUA side of things nonetheless." I would have respected
that. I would still have told him that I believe the MUA approach is doomed
to fail; but at least I would have understood where he came from.
