Yes, Id based authentication helps but it is very much system dependent. There are paid services for id based authentication but I am not aware of one which is available at community/open level.

But I'd love to know a bit more -- that if a message fails SPF test, then is it going to send an email-warning along with the sender's message ? I just need to know if this id-based authentication helps in filtering the spam messages (which are not being sent from registered IPs), or is it just going to mark them as spams ? This is certainly a giant step ahead!
