I meant AOL automatically notifies the Sender with a spam report. The
Sender then automatically updates it's Client's (client who sent the reported
spam) private 'Do not Send' folder?
I guess the DNS records being modified is a separate issue dealing with
preventing spammers from sending from forged hosts?
"A host, that wants to benefit from SPF, registers as a special DNS record
all the mail servers that may be used for sending from that host."
A host being a web host, or the host of a domain?
"SPF focuses normally on the so called MAIL FROM address"
So, a host hosting a Ringlink program would have to update for every MAIL
FROM address?

Um, no that's not the way it works. The
domain of the SENDER must be modified to indicate which servers (by ip or
domain name) are allowed to send for that domain. AOL cannot modify those
records automatically. It MUST be the sender.
The "this is not spam" button overrides
that and indicates that, for this user, emails from this source are valid. But
it specifically DOES NOT go out and modify DNS
records.
