1. Not using them, and don't have any (observed) problems despite years of closely monitoring mail logs looking for just such issues. 2. Note that they don't stop spam, don't stop forgery, and don't prevent backscatter (aka outscatter). [Similar/related technologies have similar/related problems, so these points aren't really SPF-specific.] 3. As others have pointed out, you can just easily be DoS'd when using them as you could be without. ---Rsk
