The whole thing is evil technology, as I have previously pointed out,
which is a reason to boycott it. I regularly get my email blocked by
other community members because of it.

But the application you are describing here is equally stupid. You are
saying that even though it is -- per SPF record -- OK to send
@postgresql.org via other hosts, you get penalized in your scoring
system for doing so. So in spite of *no* indication that some email is
spam, you are (partially) rejecting it. What sense does that make?
