Point well taken and well put Len, I totally agree. Most of the spam we get is forged and now I am finding spammer using our domain names in their forgeries. I think SPF is a good idea at a minimum.
I do have a question for you though Len, off topic I guess. Is there anyway to get security patches for a NIX system more affordably than paying the higher cost of let's say Red Hat support agreements? I know nothing about NIX but tried Red Hat a while back. I found that I couldn't figure out how to keep getting security updates without buying the support which I probably should have anyway. We do have a NIX person that would help us with most issues so we probably don't need to but their sort of costly contract.
Yes, run *BSD. I don't know why anyone would run linux unless the application they are running specifically requires it. Sad thing is *BSD runs some linux apps better than linux itself does.

It's also possible that spammers will also create a new SPF of their own until they are caught them create another. However, unless I really don't understand the dynamics of it all, at least SPF has the promise of getting this spam issue under control a whole lot faster
SPF is not anti-spam, it's anti-sender forgery
Let me know when I can say: "no SPF records? then reject"
