Most them are spammers.

May we see some proof of that please? And with proof i don't mean that
report that is by now almost a year old and which was found to be
incorrect a while ago. 

FWIW, here's the results of a check of 54725 spams and 6680 nonspam mails,
from SpamAssassin's weekly mass-check of network rules (at
http://www.pathname.com/~corpus/NET.age ).

All these messages were received less than 1 month ago, and are taken from
5 people's hand-classified corpora.

  SPF records passing HELO strings: 4.98% of spam, 13.29% of ham
  SPF records passing the MAIL FROM: 3.72% spam, 18.90% of ham

So it certainly looks like that statement is untrue.
