I doubt many DNS servers could handle the load if they generate AOL / Hotmail amounts of legit emails. My DNS isnt hosted by me and I cant remotely update DNS as thats another security nighmare. SPF does reduce spam, just that spamming has increased so much to combat prevention methods. Greylisting is a fantasic way to combat the spambot and it doesnt require the update of another service. Sure, there are broken email services out there that will never retry but thats what bypassing allows for. Domain Key, well, enough said about that, as with the Microsoft "CallerID".
