A bizarre assertion was made that only a "few" are implementing SPF, which is demonstrably untrue. Its getting implemented because its easy, not

because its complete. This obsession with perfection will (as usual) result in exactly no progress. Folks need to be willing to get 70% of the benefit for 10% of the effort.
There's probably a *large* difference between: a) The number of sites that deployed an SPF DNS entry b) The number of sites that bit the bullet and *didnt* put "~all" at the end. c) The number of sites checking other site's SPF records d) The number of sites rejecting mail due to (possibly in part) bad/missing SPF. The number of sites doing (a) is likely high. How many are doing b-d? In addition, I suspect a large percentage of sites who deployed SPF to any extent are thinking it solves 70% of *one* problem, when it's actually a 70% solution for something else....
