Good spot Peter - read on:
'Microsoft's announcement means that beginning in October, the company will
check inbound e-mail's source IP address for an SPF record. In other words,
Microsoft will check whether the person responsible for that outbound mail
server has published an SFP record. E-mail that passes the SPF test will be
passed through for delivery. E-mail that doesn't pass this simple test must
go through additional hoops before it can be delivered to the inbox.'
