How to setup a SPF record to help fight SPAM

domain-name-systemg-suitespf

My little developer mind never really managed to understand how to do it, so maybe you can help me.

I'm using Google Apps for Domains and MyDomain as DNS external service.

Edit: Tough crowd, in Google apps says:

Change the SPF record to fight SPAM
(optional)

You may define the SPF record to
authorize only certain IP addresses to
send email for your domain. This will
prevent spammers from sending
unauthorized email under a forged
address from your domain.

There is an article on Google Apps help about this.

All you need to do is add that TXT record and you're set. I don't know what you mean by "fight SPAM", as all this does is authenticate that the e-mail you are sending is not spoofed, so all it will do is help you get your e-mail in someone else's inbox instead of their spambox, if that is currently the case.
