Hi,

We are aware of SPF, we understand SPF, and we do not implement it for
practical reasons. Your scenario is irrelevant and wrong for multiple
reasons, among which that we do not have or offer accounts with web
password forms that protect particularly sensitive data. This is in
addition to the fact that SPF is commonly ignored due to false
positives arising from a number of limitations.
We have noted your comments. We will not be installing SPF records
any time soon.
