SPF does not stop spam. It stops forgery. Even when SPF has 100%
implementation, spammers will just have SPF records like everyone else.
They won't be able to forge your domain in the return-path, however.
The problem with TMDA currently is that the return-path does not identify the
sender. It indentifies the return-path - where to send DSNs.
