gregor,

assuming you're on the sending side of the equation:

so long as your use of spf conforms with dmarc's expectations it will
suffice. however, you will not benefit from dkim's assistance in mitigating
known common spf failures, such as forwarding. so you really want to be
certain you understand what that means for your mailstream before you
publish a quarantine or reject policy.

conforming use of spf, in the case of dmarc's default alignment model, means
that your envelope and body-from addresses share the same organizational
domain.

for example, a passing spf result for a message with the following
identities would pass dmarc validation:

envelope-sender (5321.MailFrom): [email protected]
body-from (5322.From): [email protected]

if you're a receiver, unless you're being menaced by anti-dkim space
monsters, you should be validating dkim inbound. it's right up there with
helping old ladies cross the street. though i'm sure one of those statements
will prove unpopular with someone, doing so is goodness nonetheless.

hth,
p
