i have a spf record for my domain, i don't have an effective way to gage 
its effectiveness but it's trivial to set up if you have control over 
your dns.

i believe that most of the big boys in email (aol, yahoo, gmail, etc) 
are doing spf lookups and enforcement.  however, i don't know how easy 
it is to enforce spf on a mail server that you might run yourself, 
haven't really bothered to look.  but that's a secondary issue, if you 
have active domains you should definitely set up a spf record for 
yourself.  i have three clients whose domain was used in forged spam 
email and it was a major headache for them, spf records likely would 
have at least mitigated the problem.
