    The one I received looked like this:

    > From: "NANOG" <service () cegips pl <mailto:service () cegips pl>>

    ...

    Has it been considered switching to "-all", instead of only "~all" in
    the spf record?

The SPF record wouldn't make a difference since that email was sent
from @cegips.pl <http://cegips.pl>, not from @nanog.org
<http://nanog.org>.  You'd have to change the SPF record for the
cegips.pl <http://cegips.pl> domain to impact their ability to send
from that address.  

The one I received was from _rainphil.com_ and came with an ugly Trojan
attached as a PDF.

Has anyone else received this type or am I just fortunate?
