This was discussed recently on the list, if you search the archives
I'm sure you'll find it. The short answer is, there's nothing to
force recipients to reject email that fails SPF (or accept email that
passes it). These things are a local policy decision - the SPF record
simply provides a suggestion/recommendation as to how the email is
handled (I've seen reports of email rejected when the SPF record was
using ?all).
