Maybe report the UBE as spam, especially if it
violates RFC 3834.
One area, that I think SPF missed was CNAME.
Why do you think that ? AFAIK SPF doesn't say
"don't follow CNAME", that is a rule in 2821bis
about MX.

IMO they'd better publish their future receiver
policy on a web page, and use its URL in their
future 5xx reject status codes.
Just "having" an SPF record could be a useless
"v=spf1 ?all" always NEUTRAL policy, this is by
definition the same as NONE (no policy).

Sigh, the one thing that is always worse than
spam are wannabe-anti-spammers. You say you
have a policy, so is that s/wannabe/clueless/ ?

I have received the same e-mail in the last couple of hours. It has no
headers but it does have all the links to the spf web site + listbox .com
The complete message + source is pasted below.

Subject: URGENT: Your DNS is missing a SPF record.
Dear Domain Owner,
Please note that your domain name is currently missing a SPF record to
notify other mail servers that you only allow mail delivery from your
specified mail servers.
On the 1st of January 2009, our mail server will be rejecting any mail
from domains that do not have a SPF record. Currently we see that your
domain name does not have a SPF record and therefore you are receiving
this message. If you do not manage your domain name, please contact your
Network Administrator, Internet Service Provider or Web Hosting Provider
and request them to add the SPF records within the DNS records for all
your domain names.
To fix this, please visit http://www.openspf.org and use the wizard that
is available there to assist you in creating your DNS TXT SPF record.
Once created, add this entry into your DNS management for your domain.
Until your SPF record are updated, you will be receiving this message each
day, until the 1st of January 2009, for each daily message you send to our
clients. When we reach January 2009, and you still have not fixed your
DNS TXT SPF records, your messages will no longer be received by our
clients.
Thank you for your understanding,
Cyberglobe Technical Support.
