I see that my own spf rules (based on ideas from Jim Klimov) are 
perhaps excessively permissive:

   racl greylist spf softfail delay 120m

   racl greylist spf self delay 120m

It seems that

   racl greylist spf self fail

should be reasonably safe to use, and help block spammers who use 
properly-functioning DNS and mail delivery systems.
