You can't really stop forging the From: that way. Neither will SPF stop
forging email headers. Nothing really will, except a total redesign of
the smtp protocol or a totally new protocol.
Grey listing and other spam filtering techniques will help a lot. Since
emails with forged headers almost solely are from spammers you will
block many forged emails that way.
