How do I avoid the problem?"
If SPF is supposed to prevent this, I can say that it sure as
heck doesn't seem to. Despite having SPF records, I still managed
to have my hostmaster@ address become the recipient of a few
thousand bounce notifications the other day. :|
SPF is ineffective if you set the record up incorrectly.
what do you mean by incorrectly? the domain in Jonathan's address
has an spf txt that seems ok to me.

Yup. Even used the wizard and that exact same verification tool, as
well as dnsstuff.com and it reports that the SPF records I added are
just fine.
Yet, I still got plenty of junk thanks to some russian spammer using
my hostmaster@ as the From. :(
But back on topic... the OP has been joe-jobbed.
