IMHO not. Whitelisting happens at the receiver side whereas
SPF gives this kind of control back to the sender.

Then this sender domain will publish no SPF records at all or
"suitable" SPF records.

BTW: I find this topic (SPF) kinda offtopic for the exim-users
list as long as we're not directly discussing the integration of
SPF into Exim. Therefor, I'm setting the Reply-To Header to me.
