Helps me to don't use SPF. What is a "sufficient majority" of my users.
People will argue that 90% of our students is a sufficient majority. For
staff people argue that 95% is sufficient. But I have to be sure that
within those 95% all master teachers are included. When I happen to
"discredit" one of those by claiming the IP address from which he sends
e-mail isn't allowed to send e-mail containing our domain I will be in
trouble.

I have had such a problem after blocking dynamic addresses in Brazil.
Everything was perfect untill one person happened to be there for a
while and needed to just send e-mail. And because his IP addresses where
dynamic I had to unblock the whole range.
