1, I get quite a few of those, at another address. It's sent "from" me.
There's nothing to prevent anyone from subcsribing to this list and harvesting addresses of all contributors.
Before implementing SPF, google for and join some antispam lists. I did so, and the consensus on one of them was that SPF isn't a good answer. CSV was regarded as preferable.

That's just rude. Spam prevention isn't a battle, it's a war, and SPF *is* a viable weapon in spite of your bias against it. I *have* done the research, not that it's any business of yours. As admin of mail servers for a couple high-profile domain names, I see all the tricks spammers use, and thus need all possible tools to use against them. But, being off topic, this is it from me.
