I agree and the SPF group agrees too. SPF is to prevent domain spoofing 
not stop Spam. There's a big difference. Unfortunetly there's an easy 
way around SPF so the user sees the spoofed domain/email address even if 
the spoofed domain has SPF records. Fortunetly only a couple of the 
Spammers have figured this out and are using it.
