I did - and you are correct. The only confusing part is talking about senderID. I will continue to give out that page - but with a heads up about the confusing terminology.

While it mentions SID, both of the approaches indicated (Egreetings
and Evite) address SPF but may break under SID in some circumstances
(for example when someone chooses to apply SID to v=spf1 records).
I can tell them to use their own domain for MAIL FROM and chuck
any DSNs, or to use SRS so that DSNs can be reflected to the user
that initiated the email without using a database.  But a nice looking web
page with specific instructions would be nice.
I think it would be foolish on the part of a company to simply chuck
the DSN without indicating to their customer that the email didn't get
delivered. You do not necessarily need a database to deal with this.
I am recommending SRS - assuming the user email is validated via a confirmation email or similar approach.

two seperate proposals). The mention of SID was added later but prior
to the decision (by some) to apply SID to SPF1 records.
It is confusing because it talks about senderID, and we are looking for SPF information, and senderID and SPF are two different animals that validate different layers of an email.
