No, I'm very sure about SPF. It's crap. Utter crap. And it can break mails 
in a very funny way.

Let's say you send me a mail to ralph@xxxxxxxxxxx That mail is just forwarded
to a different mail account. Now I get a mail from someone@xxxxxxxxxxx, but
I get it via mail.centos.org which clearly isn't a server you would allow to 
send mails out as @hoffman.com when you set up SPF for your domain. So if I 
drop mails which don't have a "correct" SPF record - I'd drop that mail. 

Although your domain has correct SPF records.

And yes, there are ways around it which make the whole thing even uglier.
