SPF doesn't dictate the policy for a result. If I choose to accept it,
that's my business and it won't affect you, because it won't bounce if I
accept it. If I'm going to accept it anyway, what difference does it make
whether I check the record?

There is no problem when you reject or accept a forged message - as you
say, it is your business.  I don't even mind much when you send me a DSN
for a forged message, because my system automatically throws unsigned DSNs
away.  However, I resent it when you send me an RFC ignorant auto-response
that is not a DSN, "Barracuda firewall has blocked a message from you
because it was actually sent by a virus, and we want you to know now clever
we are." (Not)

It is worse than spam.

Oh dear, did I do that? I have a default installation of Mandriva 2007. If 
it's set up to do that I apologise.
