In other words, SPF check is not something what helps with SPAM
here, seems that spammers adapted to it...
As far as I know, SPF was never meant as an anti-spam measure.
It was most definitely touted as an anti-spam measure. Some of us
were there.
Indeed, it is within the living memory of involved parties.
The naïveté of those who pushed it as an anti-spam measure seems
quaint in retrospect but it is important to understand that at the time,
there was MUCH more friction in the process of standing up a new domain
or moving it between DNS providers. They didn't anticipate a thousand
gTLDs and uncountable "cloud" providers willing to onboard customers in
5 minutes if they have a valid credit card number.
