Yes, analogies are always flawed, but my point is that I don't
want aol or msn to claim, rightly or wrongly, that they control
the content of my messages even if they happen to originate
from that domain.  As I understand it, that's what you get from
SPF and if people come to rely on that, it will be enforced to
make it true.
