Re: Why go through all that trouble
PGP/GNUPG is great for keeping the Feds from reading your email, but SPF is addressing another problem altogether.

If I can use SPF to confirm a messages origin, then I can block unwanted mail before my server processes even processes it. That prevents us from have to run messages through antivirus and antispam software and saves me a lot of processing power.

Getting even a few hundred pieces of spam a day isn't a big deal for a broadband home user, but filtering tens of thousands of spams a day is a big deal for our company.
