> I am really sorry, you saw an increase in spam, but I will contest, that SPF/DKIM actually helped you

Contest it all you want, but you're going to need a more reasoned argument than "I don't believe you" and quoting wikipedia definitions.

(BTW: I've been self-hosting my own email for over 25 years. The combination of SPF, DKIM, and DMARC made a *huge* difference on the domains I control)

> Today my most common spam sending e-mail domains are `gmail.com` and `hotmail.com` (ie.: Google & Microsoft, who have been pushing the hardest for SPF/DKIM).

You sound like the person who points at snow on the ground claiming that as proof that global warming isn't real.

> It just is not in mine and there is no automated way to prevent that e-mail from being processed by my local filters

Uh, nobody has ever prevented you from running your own client-side filters. (Except perhaps your employer, but that's their problem, not yours)
