Wow, SPF doesn't allow to spam a senator with forged addresses.
What kind of stupidity is this ? I stil have the EFF nominated
in distributed.net (just in case, normally I do OGR, not RSA)
This will change, there's a limit for technical ignorance, and
the EFF just crossed it. Some minutes later, replaced EFF by
EPIC as nominee (if that's worse please tell me privately ;-)

Yes, the whole world either disables bounces or deletes them as
soon as they arrive. Funny that SPF is the one scheme actually
trying to save SMTP with its bounces, because it fights bogus
bounces caused by billions of forged mails.
