No. SPF simply defines legitimate outgoing MTAs for a given domain.

I'm sorry, but the internet just doesn't work that way. I have 3 email accounts (mac.com, vt.edu, and cox.net). Both my college and my house deny all SMTP to anyone but their local servers. If mac.com published an SPF filter and VGER used the SPF filter, I would have no way at all to send mail via this account, simply for the reason that neither of my local ISPs will allow my to directly send email to mac.com. Likewise for my vt.edu account while at home or my cox.net account while at college.

IMHO, turning on SPF will not gain anything for the LKML; a bayesian filter based solution would be much more tenable.
