I am willing to relax the tos,  I am availabe  for any  suggestion which 
can improve it. I can also add an item which says that I do not have any 
system for monitoring emails. For the sake of the "email" for forging  
an email is sufficient to change the "from" so checking the validity of 
the sender (for the "spf" record) is not "monitoring" emails. Anyway i 
can relax this check too but I think it is better to have this kind of 
control.
