I don't have any information about how these
providers apply SPF or ADSP policies. By
advertising a policy, you are conveying what you
would like the receiver to do. What happens on
the receiving side is up to the receiver.

If you spam a provider, it might decide to honor
the ADSP policy. That does not seem like a good idea though. :-)
