I don't think this would work for two reasons:  (1) spammer domains that have
no SPF record, and (2) spammer domains that have valid SPF records.

That's probably enough for most people, but I have my own ugly reason.
Spammers forge my address on their outgoing mail.  I get replies because of
it (e.g., thank you for contacting [EMAIL PROTECTED]).  TMDA blocks them
pretty well.  Content filters can't get them (and I wouldn't expect them
to--after all, they're not spam), and SPF checks wouldn't catch them.  The
only reason TMDA gets them is because (1) I've never heard of them, and (2)
they're too automated to answer a challenge.

Anyway, SPF is nice for flagging something as being spam, but I don't expect
it to tell me when something is NOT spam.

Kyle.
