The question then becomes: how do you tell somebody who feels they are

End your SPF record with ?all. Problem solved. I mean, come on,
this is a case of "Doctor! Doctor! It hurts when I do this!."
If your boss doesn't want to restrict which IPs can send email,
then don't. You can still list the known good ones - this will
let your clients reliably whitelist business documents (which
should always be sent from a listed IP).
