Should not be sending from employers computers.
Set up a web mail interface on port 8u0 for your users and
they will be able to connect through any provider except
maybe their employer.
Still no reason to have the entire ip space as a spf record.
Has it ever occurred to you that some people out there don't like webmail?
And that they like even less the fact that SPF creates some perverse
incentives for large organizations (in particular, though the same thing
applies to small ones) to migrate offsite people to webmail-only setups?
(Hint: if you've already got a webmail system set up, it's cheaper to tell
people to use it rather than set up SMTP AUTH for them, and then get them to
reconfigure their mail clients for it.)
What you're basically saying is that if some domain is happy with the status
quo, YOU (who obviously know better about their email policy needs than they
do) are not going to let them specify the status quo in an SPF record
because YOU substituted your judgment for their administrators'.
