Point taken, but under the belief of "if you build it, they will come," well,
Darxus built it, so maybe they will come if there's support, and maybe support
for it is the motivation they need.

SPF was originally designed and deployed in 2004.  Seven years later and it's
penetrated only about 10% of domains sampled (per
http://spf-all.com/stats.html), yet SA support that.  DomainKeys, harder to
implement, has come into usage less.  Both of them have RFC's that have been
out for 5 years.

In comparison, Micro$oft's "sender ID" failed - for two reasons:  1)  Microsoft
was behind it and alot of people simply hate them, and 2) They attempted to
co-opt someone else's idea by calling sender ID "spf2."  I also recently found
a proposal (which reached draft RFC status but was never submitted) regarding
".mxout."  That proposal also tried to identify systems that could send mail
and those which shouldn't.
