Just to be clear : SPF is not and never will be a 'spam filter'. It is only helpful in defining which machines are allowed to send mail for a given domain. It's anti-forgery, not anti-spam per se. Murray On Tue, 2004-10-19 at 16:07, Chris Hodgetts wrote:
SPF = Sender Policy Framework..
It's a new sort of spam filter, that is better than the Microsoft offering.

Hi folks.
We have noticed a number of domains in NZ have entered in their NS's domain.co.nz IN TXT "v=spf1 mx -all"
This means domain.co.nz will never attempt to send emails at all. (but valid emails are trying to be sent). I've talked to a couple of domain holders who had this and they've fixed them but most said it was done ages ago and they where playing and never expected it to catch on (but it has a lot looking at the number)
We (Orcon) have started to use SPF (for testing inbound email) and found it helps with identifying spam. _ALOT_ of people have published valid SPF records.
Thanks Craig Whitmore Orcon Internet
