Nonsense.  If someone uses a hosted spam filtering servic for inbound mail,
then that person should turn off SPF checking on the back-end completely;
checking SPF and applying policy is the job of the hosted spam filter.
(If you're using a hosted anti-spam service that does *not* allow you
to apply fine-grained SPF policies, then it's time to switch.)

If someone uses a hosted filtering service for outbound mail, then
he/she just needs to publish appropriate SPF records listing the service's
egress IP addresses.
