I put the 1.7 million number there because that was how many domains I
had found with SPF records the last time I ran a survey.

... and others would call it a failure because it is no where near
100% of all domains.  As Andy Newton points out, the percentage of all
.com domains with SPF records is actually shrinking, rather than
growing.  I suspect this is because the vast majority of new domains
are for typo-squatting and ad-word trolling, rather than for use in
email.


Does that include sub-domains already (example.org vs. mta.example.org)?

That is *just* the domains under things like .com and .org, not
subdomains under them, nor domains under stuff that I can't get a
complete list of, such as .de or .uk.
