SPF is working
Backers of SPF are very happy that spammers are publishing SPF records! It means they are taking it seriously. When SPF is widely used, spammers won't be able to hide behind forged headers, or so easily hijack Aunt Tilly's pc to use as a spam factory. They will have to broadcast from domains over which they have administrative control. This is not at all impossible. They did it before efforts to filter and block them got serious. SPF forces them back into a world where they are more visible, easier to trace, block and prosecute. More at spf.pobox.com
