SPF is on the way out ... check out:

<http://www.circleid.com/posts/spf_loses_mindshare/>

There are other links, but this one talks about how Earthlink has drop'd it 
this past year:

"At about the same time, Earthlink equally quietly removed the SPF records 
theyd been publishing for at least a year. That was particularly surprising 
because SPF originator Meng Wong had been working with Earthlink to get their 
SPF set up. If Meng cant make SPF work, who can?"

Its one of those technologies that requires everyone to adopt it to be somewhat 
effective ...
