So does this mean spammers are getting smarter and sending out this

has SPF rules and make it less spam

Yes, some senders do think that just having _any_ SPF record already 
suffices for being treated more gently.  And some receivers do think that 
_any_ SPF record justifies treating the message more gently already.

Both are wrong, of course.

Or are more and more people putting in SPF information but using ?all
(so the SPF rules mean nothing).
My spam software picks up all the spam even with this in it but it looks
like the spammers are doing it purpose.

Rule #3, spammers are stupid[1].
