I think this will be the next best thing in E-mail. I'd love for that date
to be August 1 though.

OK... Aug 1 is a weekish away.   Check your inbound mail for today, and ask
yourself how much you'd be losing if you started enforcing SPF today, and what
percentage of the sites you get legitimate mail from are likely to deploy SPF
tags this week.....

And then keep in mind that SPF is *known* to break certain types of mail
reflectors and forwarding (argue all you want about whether such things are
fundementally broken - they're still *in production use*)....
