Excuse me for being so stubborn, but if you support their insanity,
they'll never remove that nasty "fail". They want it, they got it. If
their mail gets stuck there's a chance they'll learn.

My example is 100% in line with the SPF draft:

Fail (-): the message does not meet a domain's definition of
legitimacy. MTAs MAY reject the message using a permanent
failure reply code. (Code 550 is RECOMMENDED. See RFC2821
section 7.1.)

And the very first paragraph of my SPF docs is:

To learn more about SPF, visit http://spf.pobox.com. This
document does not explain the SPF fundamentals, you should
read and understand the implications of deploying SPF on your
system before doing so.

I can't get any more clear :)
