I read this and I wonder "which of the MTAs out there can do that" - 
that is, check SPF (and others) for outgoing mails.

"Blaiming all on the MTA operator" isn't totally reasonable either - you
might have a totally valid configuration, and then someone whose mail you
legitimately sent before (either forward rules that had no conflicting
SPF yet, or your server was listed, or...) changes *their* SPF stuff, 
making *your* MTA noncompliant.

Is this an error?  Yes, surely.

Is the MTA operator to blaim for it?  Possibly sometimes, but certainly
not "always, and solely".
