thanks for the input, the email headers do show the suspect mail in
my case coming from a relay with a Brazil TLD and it wouldn't fool
anyone that knew where to look. I have spent some time answering
emails from clients about the same thing though, so it is costing me
some time, enough to add the reply to my boiler plate collection of
replies for them. If this SPF schema helps, it's worth at least
investigating and hearing some other replies as to it's
effectiveness.

cheers,
