spf2.0/mfrom and HELO (was: FTC Spam Summit)

Jeff Macdonald wrote four months ago on the Discuss list:

One of the papers was about Sender ID and states:

| Sender ID acquires the sender's domain from
| the SMTP "MAIL FROM" or EHLO command or from
| a message header field determined by the
| Purported Responsible Adress (PRA).

In other words spf2.0/mfrom really is supposed
to be the same as v=spf1, and it's good when
the next Authentication-Results Internet Draft
adds an smtp.helo row to Sender ID, it already
has this for SPF.
