spf-discuss record changing to -all

Has anyone else been getting these forged viruses?

  Received-SPF: softfail (dumbo.pobox.com: transitioning domain of 
spf-discuss(_at_)v2(_dot_)listbox(_dot_)com does not designate 82.77.64.5 as 
permitted sender)

They're forging spf-discuss(_at_)v2(_dot_)listbox(_dot_)com, which is pretty
annoying.  Fortunately, we can do something about it!

I've just set up per-user records for v2.listbox.com, and
I'm going to set spf-discuss to -all.  Previously the site
default for listbox.com was ~all.

This means that anybody who:

 - subscribed to spf-discuss using a forwarding alias
   which does not perform SRS/SUBMITTER/SenderID-prepending
 - and checks incoming mail using SPF

will reject messages due to SPF fail.

If you don't get any more messages after this one, that's
probably what happened :)

Any comments before I pull the trigger?  Here's the full virus:
