On Anti-Spam Technologies Mentions SPF

We're sitting in a meeting.  My friend is not a geek; they do not
administer domain names.

I need to send a message urgently.  It's really important.  I ask
to send a message from their pc, and set the rfc2822.From field to
be my actual email address.

This can be a real problem.  My solution is to have ?ptr:mail2web.com in my
SPF record.  This way, in your scenario, I fire up the web browser on the
friend's machine, go to www.mail2web.com, and send the message.  SPF isn't a
problem.

Yes, if you publish a closed SPF record (-all), advanced planning is
required.  Despite being lots of different places, connecting lots of
different ways, I have yet to run into a situation that was a problem once I
had things planned out.
