SPF was first

Hi,
CallerID is NOT an advanced version of SPF.
SPF has by far much more features and functionalities and even was much earlier available.
Anyway - for me as a user it does not make a difference. My Provider is using NoSPAMProxy which supports both SPF and CallerID so I dont really have that problem.
As for my private Domains for me its very easy to publish the TXT record required for SPF but its IMPOSSIBLE to publish the CallerID _ep Record since you need to be able to create a subdomain in your DNS....
My 10 Cents
