Leaving aside the wisdom of rejecting based on SPF, yes.
BTW, I hope statler is applying the same (or more) rejection criteria
to incoming mail as scooter. To do otherwise means statler will be
generating collateral spam (DSNs to forged sender addresses) when
messages it accepted are rejected by scooter.
