I feel like most cases of wait times are due to elevators "waiting" empty in the wrong floor. They either all wait in the bottom floor, or all wait where they were last left at. Would be better if their waiting floors were distributed throughout the floors so that first response is fast.

First, they don't exist and 10k of them will never exist. Second, nothing would happen, the power will be minuscule and last for a very short time focused on such a small patch.

> Isn’t that already what DMARC does though? For DMARC to pass you need DKIM _or_ SPF alignment, not both.

But now if SPF passes and is aligned, DMARC passes (it doesn't matter what DKIM's status is). OP here wants to complete skip the SPF check entirely.

Beautiful tool, much better than having to press multiple buttons with some specific timed order and hold your tongue at the right angle like you're summoning some Apple genie
