That's why I asked which problem SPF is trying to solve.
The SPF Qmail patch we use on CentOS Opsys has a special case for SPF from ALL
And we discard on that signal...
I'd turn off the mail server if I don't want to get mails. So if I'm roaming and am not sure which mail server I can use to send out mails from, I'd also set the SPF record to +all (or - as I do now - don't set it at all). So I'm doing everything according to the book and still can't get mails through to you.

When I am roaming, I still use my own server and auth to it to allow me to send. If that site blocks me on sending from port 25, then I can either VPN to my servers, or send to the submission port. Worst case I plug in the CDMA card and send that way. Or log into the webmail system and use that. Some of my users roam all over the USA, and since they are exec's, I have to make sure that they can send and receive their mail. If not, I get a personal long distance a$$-chewing if I can't resolve it quickly.
