Now that even spammers are using SPF, is there a way to penalize those with SPF records that are too broad?

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.
