I hope I am wrong - but if I can send you a mail with a false reply-to
that's spoofing, afaik, and is exactly what spf is trying to stop.
Obviously Gmail is not allowing bulk mail -- that I've found yet, anyway.

There's a facility to insert the reply-to of your choice. I am not sure
what is going to stop this mis-use of e-mail, gmail are just responding
to
"market forces".
In what way exactly is the facility to add a custom Reply-To: header a
mis-use of email?
