i agree. however, in spf-enabled domain, only MX (at least) is allowed
to send for that domain. and the other MX (that will receive the email)
can check & verify who/where the email came from. if they received email
pretending to be from you but wasnt sent from your allowed MX for your
domain, then that's email forgery and the other MX will know its not
actually you.

at least, that's how i understand it.
