I'd add to that DMARC, which as far as I can make out is a pointless addition to the fight against spammers, unlike DKIM & SPF. I'd agree they are a bit of a pain to set up, especially DKIM, but at least I see the sense in them in addition to actually getting your email delivered to an inbox rather than junk.
