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).

No it means that the only hosts that should be sending mail for the domain domain.co.nz are those listed in MX records for domain.co.nz. Mail coming from any other hosts claiming to be from that domain should be considered bogus. See the SPF setup wizard at spf.pobox.com for details. cheers mark
