Well, that seems to be the case. I have no reason to boast here; it is indeed true that we cut down the number of spam messages by 90% solely by rejecting all messages without one of SPF or DKIM. Since a few days, we are blacklisting the domains which have sent SPAM, and now it looks like we could cut down the SPAM an additional order of magnitude by doing so (no exact figures yet).
