That wouldn't have an effect in this case. The only place it would have
an effect is where the ISP hasn't set their mail servers up to use SPF
properly. I use -all and have never had the stated problem.
It is infinitely more useful to state "Mail will *only* come from the
following IPs" compared to "Mail will probably only come from the
following IPs but might come from others"

You can't. Spews is a dead list and is no longer updated. Hasn't been
since the end of last year. Any mail admin still using their data to try
and attempt to identify spam is *very* out of date.

I dunno about yahoo, but I got around much of hotmail's filtering by
creating a router as follows before the remote_smtp one:
hotmail:
driver = dnslookup
condition = ${if match_domain{${lookup
dnsdb{>:defer_never,mxh=$domain}{$value}{}}}{*.hotmail.com}{true}{false}}
transport = remote_smtp
headers_remove = User-Agent
headers_add = ${if !def:h_References:{References:
<BAY000-000000000000000000000000000@???>\n}}\
${if !def:h_In-Reply-To:{In-Reply-To:
<BAY000-000000000000000000000000000@???>\n}}
ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8
no_more
I notice you're using phpmailer. It wouldn't surprise me if email sent
with headers like the following causes hotmail to consider your email to
be more likely to be spam. It seems to be their style:
X-Mailer: PHPMailer [version 1.73]
If the above router doesn't work for you, change "headers_remove" to be:
headers_remove = User-Agent : X-Mailer
And then let us know if it works.
