"If you did not send the message:

send mail pretending to be from you, but the message was
rejected before anybody saw it. If you received a bounce
message, you can delete it. This means SPF is working as
designed."
Especially the last two sentences.
It sounds a bit odd - wasn't SPF about getting rid of bogus
bounces ? - but it's correct: Zombies don't create bounce
messages if their crap is rejected, after all they know that
they forged the Return-Path,
If you get a bounce it was an ordinary user doing something
stupid (or taking his first lesson in becoming a spammer :-)
I've got one of these so far in 20 months with SPF FAIL, it
was a weird constellation of Murphy resulting in a nice chat
with the sysop of this user - I started with telling them
that it's not really necessary to inform me about failures
of their illegal activities... <eg>
