How would that be different from the current situation? I want to use SPF
to deal with mail farms so that I don't have to enter them all by hand, but
I don't want just to whitelist SPF-compliant senders because some of them
are spammers.

In other words I still want to greylist SPF-compliant senders, but use
the SPF record to deal automatically with potential mail farms.

As far as I can tell, using the SPF record as if it were a "subnetmatch"
for just those IPs is the only correct solution.

Thanks,
