Yes of course. Regarding SPF, I'd add that DKIM is also a must and the info at https://dmatthews.org/email_auth.html should be equally visible. I found out the hard way that these days, if you try and run an email server without implementing SPF and DKIM for your domains, the mega providers will silently put all your mail in junk boxes. Not so convinced about DMARC which I don't really see the point of, but you may as well have that also as it's not difficult to implement. Somewhat grudgingly, I have to admit that these technologies do make some sense, apart from raising the bar by gmail, hotmail etc against people like me that just want to run their own email or provide a service for a small number of customers. I do check incoming mail for SPF (but not DKIM) and I have spamassassin sitting in the background, but it very seldom has to take action. Just dropping anything from an IP in a DNSBL pretty much solves the spam problem. A relative of mine that uses one of the mega providers recently observed to me that there is very little in his spam box these days.
