[Mimedefang] SPF

Hi,

After much consideration, I have removed the SPF record for
roaringpenguin.com.

SPF was supposed to help prevent "blow-back" from joe-jobs.  (It
was never designed to stop spam, of course, but I *was* hopeful that
it would reduce annoying bounces caused by spam faked to come from
our domain.)

Alas, SPF has not lived up to its promise, and it has caused some
problems for us (we have salespeople working on the road who send mail
through their ISP's servers.)

So, so long, SPF.  Too bad you weren't useful.

Regards,

David.
