Nice post from Martin, so in summary:

- publishing your SPF records will help others to drop spam claiming
to be from you
- and _may_ avoid some backscatter (OTOH the servers backscattering
are unlikely to use SPF...)
- looking up SPF records will help you to avoid some spam
- but _never_ assume an SPF validated email is not-spam

There is also DomainKeys/DKIM you may wish to look at which seems to
have its own set of issues.
