If port 587 is enabled and used as it should, there's no problem.  Beyond
that, port 587 guarded by AUTH also permits roaming users.  Otherwise they
often have to change their mail settings each time they plug into a new
network.  Some services, like Shaw, have internal mail servers which aren't
even visible to the outside world.

If we have to get 587 up and running for roaming users, then why on Earth
wouldn't SPF be a natural extension of that?  I mean, if you want your
customers to send through your mail system to guarantee that it will work
whether they're in Chicago, Paris or Tokyo, then popping an SPF record on
your domain is just an added way of giving the client's messages a leg-up.
