Well, this might be a bit off-topic. Personally, i don't run SPF checks on incoming all emails. Instead, i actively utilize Postfix's header_checks() function. Then, if an email is clearly identified as spam, i redirect it to karma@localhost instead of rejecting or bouncing it. That's it. Please read my comments for reference only, thanks!
