My point is that nobody has properly thought through how to deploy SPF on
anything other than toy domains in such a way that it can safely reject
email.

Other than, for example, pobox.com that is.


To be quite honest, I have a hard time thinking of *any* single
anti-spam/anti-forgery system that most people would trust to be the
sole basis for rejecting email.  That is one of the reasons why I like
SpamAssassin: it combines many different techniques, including SPF
failures.
