SPF seems very interesting. Does spamAssassin automatically use an SPF record if it exists?
There's a plugin.
Do I set up an SPF record with whoever manages my MX DNS record?
Yes. It's a TXT record. Some DNS hosting companies will set it up for you, some will give you the ability to create a TXT record through their management intraface (but you have to figure out what to put in the record yourself), and some don't support TXT records at all. Note that SPF is not a magic bullet. It's not yet that widely adopted, and any MTA that's doing accept-and-bounce for unknown addresses is probably not checking SPF either. You probably also want to look at SenderID. Wikipedia has a reasonable summary.
