The idea is that the 3rd party mail store checks SPF on all
incoming mail - modified according to a "v=rpf1" record which is
checked first.  RPF records are evaluated just like SPF, using the
MAIL FROM domain for evaluation, not the RCPT TO domain used to fetch
the RPF record.  An RPF pass means to accept the message and SKIP SPF 
checking.

Correction, the RPF record should be evaluated with the RCPT TO domain, but
the %{s} macro containing the MAIL FROM.  Like include, but with
different responses to the SPF result.

Example 3: local domain blacklist

Example.com maintains a list of domains they wish to reject all mail
from in DNS.

example.com   TXT "v=rpf1 -exists:%{s}.blacklist.%{d}"
