I was thinking if they could be improved... worked reasonably fine. I 
hardly remember any mail that was not accepted by the final recipient 
but there were some.

The thing I'm trying to improve is not email getting refused from my 
email provider/vps, rather by final destination that may see an spf 
record that match my email provider but not my home IP where the email 
originated.

Clearly my email provider doesn't accept email from an unauthenticated 
MTA peer/client.
