I agree, spammers publishing SPF is GOOD!
I completely agree.

I've gone over this in a previous feedback for a previous article. ZDNet, PLEASE read your talkbacks a bit more often!

"SPF--as it relates to having an impact on spam--will hurt only those who spoof domains."

Well, geez, why do you think spam is so hard to stop? 99% of my spam comes from a spoofed domain!

The more spammers publish SPF, the easier it is to block them. I, for one, am GLAD they're doing so.

Once SPF and similar technologies are in place and everybody's using them, it will be almost trivial to bring my spam down to an acceptable level. I can handle an occasional spam from a legit company, it's millions of spams from faked addresses I can't handle.
