In my experience, actually, the alleged sender of spam is nobody.  The
majority of those challenges never get delivered.

Virus email is another matter.  Since I already don't challenge those, I
don't know the validity of their alleged senders.

I think SPF before challenge is a good idea, but don't make the problem
bigger than it is.  I have an SPF record, and I get 2000 times more bounces
from mail servers than I do misdirected challenges from TMDA users.  That's
not hyperbole.
