As an anti-spam tool, SPF has been useless since the start anyway.
Fortunately, SPF isn't an anti-spam tool, it's an anti forgery tool.

Those who continue to fail to understand the difference between these
two concepts miss the point of SPF entirely.

Since Emanuel questioned if it was spam or not, I'll point out the

I never enabled it. It seemed foolish as any spammer can just create a
SPF record allowing all IPs. If people start ignoring "ip4:0.0.0.0/32"
then they can always update it to  "ip4:0.0.0.0/31 ip:4128.0.0.0/31"
