What it does do is to publish the valid IPs for your domain so that SPF-compliant servers can tell whether incoming mail thats apparently from your domain is valid (the IP matches) or forged (IP doesn't match). An SPF-compliant MTA will not cause back scatter, i.e. send rejection notices for mail with forged sender addresses.
I was getting quite a lot of back scatter until I set up an SPF record. Since then I've had none to the best of my recollection. Martin
