Yep.
The return-path is the critical piece wrt auto-responders
(vacation mail, bounces, etc.). It is where "backscatter"
is sent to.

A (slightly) different problem, it is related to phishing,
if spammers have reasons to abuse your address in phishes.
SPF is not designed to help with phishing, for that you'd
check out "DKIM ADSP" and/or "SenderID PRA". The latter
is also known as "spf2.0/pra". Folks here agree that PRA
doesn't really work as expected. Your mail client might
still show what it shows today, even if the phisher used
another address as Resent-From to get a PRA PASS of their
choice.
No silver bullets, sorry. Limited to backscatter issues
v=spf1 (PASS or FAIL) does help.
