Out of curiosity, I looked at the meek definition NFSN had.  While it kinda gave me an idea as to what it is, Jeremy's link gives *tons* more info.  Thanks for the link Jeremy!

	If you're still working to implement SPF on your domain it's advised
that you use "~all" rather than "-all". The difference is subtle makes a
world of difference. The ~ tells the receiver to tag but accept it, the
- tells the receiver to reject it if it doesn't match. The former will
allow you to try and locate those hosts sending email under your domain
without causing disruption so you can tweak and modify your SPF entry.

	On the ironic note I did notice sixit.com did not have an SPF entry
themselves but were using it to filter apparently.
