Hi !!

> throws away valid email


this is totally false, spf does not throw away valid email, it's only
a way to express certain policy about emails using a certain domain,
and that policy is given by the owner of the domain. If the owner says
'do not accept any email comming from servers other than that', then
that emails where not valid emails (not authorized by the domain owner).

By now, it also does not break anything. It's true that it introduces
problems with email forwarding, and that's why almost nobody is
publishing strict (-all) spf records, altough there are some valid
reasons to publish strict records.

Maybe you want to point that to acomplish it's real objective
mass deployment of both spf and srs is need, and that's really true.
