Hi,
  I have been using SPF with spamassasin for my mailservers.
Unfortunately far too many domains do not put up SPF records. In order
to combat forged spams I plan to implement Domain keys too ( perl DK
plugin for SA)
Personally I dont see too much value in DK but I am surprised quiet a
few people do use DK

Anyone of you using SPF and DK together. What are the problems I should
look out for ? Or is DK going to give me any real improvement

DKIM should give you some improvement in autentication reliability if
you receive any mail through a forwarder.  For legacy reasons, much of
my home email is forwarded from my college alumni address; all of these
messages have broken SPF but would potentially pass DKIM if they were
signed.

Agreed.  I see potential in this kind of approach, the trick being exactly how 
to combine the two.

I am currently wrestling with coding integration of SPF HELO and Mail From 
checking and that's hard enough.  

There's some good work to be done on this.
