In addition to my previous 8 points, also realize that SPF requires
SRS which will require changes in every MUA in the universe to do
address unmunging!

The shape of your ignorance is growing to biblical proportions now.

SRS is used to sign envelope-from addresses, not recipients! It has nothing
to do with MUA's, you silly. :) A signed SRS address can become the
recipient in inter-server communication, in the case of a DSN. But, never,
at any time, does any MUA, anywhere across the world, have to "unmunge"
anything. And the only one having to unmunge anything, is the server who
originally sent out the SRS signed address (in case of a DSN).

SRS in an extension to the SMTP-dialogue (and strictly spoken, not even
that, as signing/unsigning is all "behind the scenes", and fully transparent
to the standard SMTP protocol). At any rate, it never ever reaches the MUA
level. Please, go upgrade your knowledge. And make it soon.
