SPF is fundamentally broken, in many ways.  It was so in 2004, and it 
is still so today.

See <http://bradknowles.typepad.com/considered_harmful/2004/05/spf.html>.


Besides, Windows Live insists on SenderID, not SPF.  You should do 
your homework.


Either way, if Windows Live Hotmail wants to isolate themselves from 
the rest of the world as a result of a technology like this, then 
they will get what they deserve.
