Good article thanks. I think that SPF is probably redundant, because if you want to know the
sending MTA is responsibly managed CSV/CSA together with a domain reputation system is
probably better. If you want to know the message is authentic, Domainkeys offers a better
solution. I don't think there is much overlap in function between Domainkeys and CSV/CSA but
SPF tries to overlap both and does neither job well.
