Actually, SPF is a terrific idea, but until a large fraction of the Internet
uses it, it won't be very helpful.

I think SPF will have to be forced in by decree.  It will take
something like AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo and Earthlink banding together and
saying "Starting January 1, 2005, we will not accept mail from domains
that do not have SPF TXT records."

It's the only way.
