As you will remember I have consistently argued that the checking
algorithm should never have been a part of the standard. The SPF record
describes the configuration of your outgoing edge MTAs, nothing more. The
interpretation of the records is for the receiver to decide, always has
been.

A domain doing SES publishes "v=spf1 exists:%{l}._ses.%{o} -all". Of course
the receiver can interpret this record at it desires, but if it uses it for
anything else than the MAIL FROM address, then it is just stupid.
