SPF is undeployable...

The reference implementation of SPF (the perl Mail::SPF::Query module) has a mode of operation where mail from hosts that are listed as MXes for a recipient's domain is allowed through (on the basis that SPF checking will have been done on that MX).

The other implementations will no doubt have similar functionality because obviously it's a big problem otherwise.
