First of all it is broken or breaks many valid applications. e.g.
forwarding does not work correctly and user that are forced to use some
smtp proxy will have issues too.

Additionally it is useless. Currently 90% of SPF verified traffic is spam.
SPF does not prevent spam it is a user verification system and it does
that very bad. Use crypto instead.
