I'm just concerned that if we settle on SPF/DomainKeys/whatever and it
gains wide-spread adoption, then we'll see spammers adopt the technique
of utilizing a compromised machine's configuration to send mail.
I suppose at least then the spammer will clearly be breaking the law.
Unless, I suppose, they try to hide themselves behind a EULA on some
time of Adware/Spyware type program. <sigh>
