Ok... What if I said ~PLEASE~
~PLEASE~ can we limit the CIDR to something more granular than "v=spf1 +all" 
It would REALLY help. If we limit it to /24 and you have to add a few more 
ip4:'s..... big deal!

Well.. That is an awful lot of domain names to block. Especially if 
the
spammer randomly generates a few hundred a day for the same netblock.
Easier for me to block netblocks.
Both will work... But I still think that it would be even better if we
could limit the netblock so that I could have a choice.

At least, the spammer will have to pay a few bucks for each domain, which will 
reduce his profit.

Also, big anti-spam sites like spamcop could create "reputation lists" for 
validated domains. For example, imc.org has sent 96866593 emails, of which 3 
have been reported as spam, that gives it a pretty good reputation. While 
domain evilspammer.org has sent 1500 messages, of which 1000 were reported as 
spam, it gives it a bad reputation.

Best,
GFK's
