Hi, I'm mainly checking that SPF Help is really working again
via GMaNe after some months...

Gmail now rejects broken or missing DKIM signatures for PayPal
phishes, hopefully they'll also reject SPF FAIL at some point
in time.  Obviously they evaluate SPF, and use it as input in
their spam or no spam decisions.  Gmail users with convoluted
"forward to Gmail" setups should watch their Gmail spam folder:

An "accept SPF FAIL, but treat it as suspicious" strategy is 
quite dangerous in comparison with a simple "reject SPF FAIL".
