It should be noted that there are two sides to this.  Declude, like the
full-blown MTAs, are able to act upon the identification of an SPF record
for the domain of an incoming message, but one still has to do the
(slightly) hard work of popping it in your own DNS.

There are some other nasty issues involving forwarding, which is tough on
IMail because it cannot rewrite the header.  I'm not too sure what the long
term solution is, though perhaps Declude could pull something like that off
eventually.  I'm likely going to push everything through my IMGate box and
get Postfix to do a new envelope, but it would sure be nice if that bit of
sweat could be done on my IMail box.
