I don't think that the spf self check will be too useful.  I imagine that 
almost everyone has authorized more than one email server to send 
email on behalf of their domain name.  If one authorized email server 
receives email from another authorized email server, the spf self check 
will fail. 

For example, here is the SPF records for sourceforge.net:

sourceforge.net.        7200    IN      TXT     "v=spf1 
redirect=_spf.sourceforge.com"

_spf.sourceforge.com.   7200    IN      TXT     "v=spf1 
ip4:66.35.250.0/24 ip4:12.31.165.64/27 ip4:208.48.95.16/28 
include:gmail.com ?all"

gmail.com.              139     IN      TXT     "v=spf1 
redirect=_spf.google.com"

_spf.google.com.        99      IN      TXT     "v=spf1 ip4:216.239.32.0/19 
ip4:64.233.160.0/19 ip4:66.249.80.0/20 ip4:72.14.192.0/18 
ip4:209.85.128.0/17 ip4:66.102.0.0/20 ip4:74.125.0.0/16 ?all"

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
