This won't actually stop them spoofing your domain (most spammers aren't 
terribly bright, as can be seen from the many spams landing in my junkmail 
folder these days with "Received: from %RNDDIGIT[1]%RNDDIGIT[2]" etc. in the 
headers). However, you'll feel better knowing that a few less of their spams 
get through to sites implementing SPF checks or running SpamAssassin 3.x.
