More authentication... Anti-spoofing... Which helps when trying to
differentiate what only looks spammy...

I went through a few airlines & travelagents... I could only find one
with an SPF record (Although I didn't do an exhaustive search, just
ones I could think of off hand). Any chance it could be added to the
SPF whitelists? (Two records, because I'm not sure which one is used
for eTicketing & disruption notices etc).

ba.com.                 86400   IN      TXT     "v=spf1 mx
ip4:163.166.43.0/24 -all"
britishairways.com.     86400   IN      TXT     "v=spf1 mx
ip4:163.166.43.0/24 -all"

(There's no digital signing on the emails AFAIK, so dkim isn't an
option yet).
