At about the same time, Earthlink equally quietly removed the SPF

Yeah, and when they removed their records, my mail started bouncing
because I was including earthlink.net so my Dad's email would pass.
But that made me set up a VPN so my Dad could submit email through
an authorized server without using earthlink SMTP servers.
I get a lot of earthlink.net forgeries, and they are now back to
the three strikes policy:

2005Jul31 12:08:32 [105565] REJECT: no PTR, HELO or SPF
Real earthlink.net mail will usually match best_guess.
