Well, so everyone can send email through an MTA (the email accounts
"home MTA") covered in the SPF records.
As (1) SPF this is demonstrably useless to establish trust and (2) the
argument that SPF doesn't provide the required blacklist information
hasn't been countered yet, it follows that
SPF just makes life harder for everyone without real benefits in return.
SPF also prefers end-to-end mailings and falls short when relays are
used - but these are advocated by the SPF disciples.
Can this SPF madness please be buried now?

SPF can be useful though, as a lot of Asian spam, for example says they
are hotmail.com and they are not, SPF can reject much faster than sender
address verification.
