Also note that SPF does not apply to subdomains automatically. What we have 
done with some financial clients:

- create a wild-card record on the organizational domain with "v=spf1 -all" so 
it is returned with any subdomain SPF query
- if a subdomain is used for email, create a separate zone with a valid SPF 
that overrides the wildcard record

As already mentioned, I also think it's good practice for financials to 
register and protect cousin or look-alike domains, before phishers resort to 
them because the main domain is protected.
