SPF causes tons of trouble and no real benefit.
SPF works for me and for about 20.000 registered domains that publish SPF records at the moment (http://spf.pobox.com/adoption.html). Yes, checking SPF records on inbound e-mail breaks forwarding, but there are ways around this. Remailing instead of forwarding is one of them. If your hosting provider doesn't support this, go to one that does or exclude their mailservers from SPF checks. There is a whole lot of difference between publishing a SPF record and checking for SPF on inbound mail. Publishing a SPF record doesn't necessarily break things. You should either have all your domain users use your servers for outbound mail (SASL can be used for that) or be lenient in the fallback (publish ?all or ~all as last parameter). Regards, Arjen
