Full ack ;-)
SPF causes tons of trouble and no real benefit.
I've been using it for more than a month now and i haven't had a single problem. It may be a problem for larger setups with users that are distributed through the net. But most private domain owners and smaller companies should be just fine with it. Yes, it breaks forwarding. But facing the amount of spam, the number of mails that bounce because of incorrect (old-style) forwarding should be neglegible. If anyone here finds a better solution, without breaking anything in the existing system - you are welcome to tell us. I think that SPF is the best we can get without breaking too much of existing SMTP. SPF goes a logical way - the domain owner does not only tell which machines receive his mail (MX), but also which machines are allowed to send mails with his domain.
