Without want to sound too negative, there are some serious shortcomings with SPF in its current form. The proposed SRS solution is just making the problem worse. http://homepages.tesco.net/~J.deBoynePollard/FGA/smtp-spf-is-harmful.html I have already struck a couple of sites where our relay solution broke because of strick adherence to SPF, juno.com being one that comes to mind. While everyone will admit that SPAM is a serious problem, I don't believe that SPF is the silver bullet. If you intent to put in SPF rules for a domain, use the option that says mail should probably come from here but don't block it if it doesn't i.e. "v=spf1 +mx ?all" ( I think this is the right incantation
