Here is another v=spf1/PRA incompatibility scenario I ran across today

Return-Path: <localpart(_at_)mobileemail(_dot_)vodafone(_dot_)net>

Reply-To: username(_at_)example(_dot_)com
From: "John Doe" < username(_at_)example(_dot_)com>

Apparently Vodafone (in the UK) use their own return path for Blackberry
e-mails.  This would be no problem for SPF, but creates a case where the
PRA and Mail From records for example.com need to be different.

Not really.  They could easily add a "Sender: 
(_dot_)(_dot_)(_dot_)(_at_)mobileemail(_dot_)vodafone(_dot_)net"
header.  And I think they should.

The problem is that the 'They' that could do that is vodafone, not my 
customer.  Unless I can figure a way to do that with a Blackberry, I'm afraid 
I'm going to have to recommend that he not publish SPF records.
