Since you control the DNS for your zones, then you have setup the empty SPF
record.  Without an SPF record, other systems will be less willing to accept
your email.

The problem with SPF records and local SMTP relays is when you have a google,
yahoo, etc. account.  Your SMTP relay will not be listed in their SPF record,
and so your emails *will* be marked as forgeries.
