If you're trying to detect domains that authorize the entire IP address space
(or large portions of it), remember that that can be done in more ways
than "+all". In principle you have to process all SPF terms, including
include:s, in order to determine the set of authorized IP addresses, which is
something different from what libspf2 does: checking whether a particular
address is authorized.

In practice, using something like ${if match {${lookup dnsdb
{txt=$sender_address_domain}}} {v=spf1.*\+all}} (note: very rough example!)
might work surprisingly well. (But if it becomes widespread, spammers will
start working around it.)
