Now that even spammers are using SPF, is there a way to penalize those

I doubt any legit sender would SPF-authorize the entire Internet.
Like hotmail.com with about a million IPs (1014528)? :)
I wrote a script a couple years ago to calculate the IPs used by a
domain's SPF record. I had meant to but never got around to writing a
plugin for it. Actually, I never completely finished the script
either... the odd domain will cause it to run for a long time causing an
internal server error.
