Hi,
You'll need to put support for spf somewhere in your MTA, and your
implementation should be able to reject the mail before the DATA stage.
So the question that is the answer to your question is: what MTA are you
using? If you're using eg. sendmail you can install a milter (i
personally have had it with milters atm), or choose one of the spf
libraries, and patch your MTA for them (eg libspf / libspsf2).
