To be clear, it's "spf2.0/" plus one of "mfrom", "pra", or "mfrom,pra",
e.g., "spf2.0/mfrom" which is essentially the same as regular SPF.

SenderID hasn't really caught on mainly because it is of dubious value
over regular SPF, particularly PRA and what it's supposed to buy.  I
wouldn't worry about implementing it... microsoft.com isn't even using
it and they invented it.  ;-)
