i'm surprised at the surprise. it's the only tool available to
reduce the impact of forged spam -- i.e., someone sends mail
pretending to be me, and then i inherit the bounce storm. i don't
know that -all is the sole reason, but i haven't had one of those
bounce storms in years. it could be inconvenient at times, i suppose,
but hasn't been for me. i run my own primary smart host, but to
allow occasionally sending mail from gmail with From: set to my
home address my SPF includes the google SPF block:
$ dig foxharp.boston.ma.us txt
foxharp.boston.ma.us. 1799 IN TXT \
"v=spf1 mx ip4:173.48.171.74 include:_spf.google.com -all"
(the IP address is my home internet connection, which isn't an MX for
my domain.)
