You might as well also add a DKIM ADSP policy with "dkim=discardable".
Similar to your SPF policy, it announces that no unsigned mail (or
no mail at all in your case) should come from this domain. But DKIM
does not suffer from the problems SPF causes with email forwarding
(see recent NANOG thread on that topic).
