OK, but how can people ever send e-mail then? That server is very alone somewhere in a dark room, seeing no daylight until the end of his life. Hard to imagine anybody going there directly to send some mail.
SPF checks are designed for *other people* to check the source of your mail. You shouldn't check your own outgoing mail against your SPF record. Besides, you have more accurate ways to verify whether that mail is really coming from one of your users: POP-before-SMTP, SMTP-Auth, etc.
You need to skip SPF checks on authenticated outgoing mail, either by skipping SpamAssassin altogether or running it with a different configuration.
