We've identified one very widely used application that interprets SPF |

records based upon how they're used by spammers rather than by how the |
| 10 |
specification says they should be interpreted. In this case, SA is |

entirely reasonable in its behaviour -- SPF makes the classic incorrect |

assumption that spammers won't abuse the system. |
