well, first, this message was not addressed to you. Second, if you do not
get paid enough for that job, maybe it will be better that you stop loosing
your time in such non productive discussions.

Well, this problem has been addressed. The solution does not look very good
but will work. In my personal opinion it's a problem that must be solved in
a better way but it's not a unsolved problem.

nobody asks you to do so.

I have no interest on convincing you, really.

nor spf nor dmp will not break your users legitimate mail.

you'd better use smtp auth. Looks like your problem was another one, when
I speak about email forgery I mean that anybody could use your email address
as the envelope sender to send email using another server (not yours). It's
obvious that your fix in your aliasfile has nothing to do to stop this.
