I'm still waiting for someone, anyone, to come up with an e-mail
source forgery prevention mechanism superior to SPF. I would say PGP/GPG
is the perfect solution, but look at your inbox and mail client and tell
me it is more widespread than SPF despite having been available for
over 10 years now and solving more problems than SPF attempts to.

And I'm still waiting for the day when Listbox stops mutilating message 
parts so I can stop using inline PGP and start using PGP/MIME... *sigh*

Anyway, there are far fewer domain owners than end-users, so that should 
explain SPF's structural advantage over PGP.  But I agree that PGP is the 
definite solution to the forgery problem.  Banks, eBay, etc. should really 
form a cooperative initiative and start propagating PGP to their users 
instead of inventing silly workarounds like "never click links in e-mails 
claiming to come from us".
