Damian,

Have you been reading the posts?

The big question about removing spoofing is:  so what?

And hearing that we have removed "something valuable" from the spammers
is no comfort to recipients who continue to get inundated with spam.

Proposals to control spam need to worry about reducing it, not making it
more pristine.
