Get over the concept of using SPF as a validation of anything other than
the address from which the email was sent. Spam filters still have the
responsibility to validate THAT address against spam address lists. SPF
may make this easier because forged addresses go away. That means botnet
spamming will probably cease as well. But the spam filters still need to
decide if a given "yes, indeed, it came from this location" email is from
a spammer location or not.
