Well, we want to move to using real-time data for network tests and that
would improve the scores, but it's a non-trivial amount of work (to log
complete network data in message headers, and then reuse it in
mass-check).  Patches accepted.  :-)

Nevertheless, SPF is not a super-great spam sign -- about 0.5% of ham
fails in real-time and 8.5% of spam (on my mail stream).  That's a S/O
ratio of about 0.95 which is much worse than any good DNSBL.
