No. SPF simply defines legitimate outgoing MTAs for a given domain.
Within a domain, it is up to the postmaster to allow/disallow address
forgery and for the rest of a world (to tell where legitimate email of
his domain comes from), the postmaster defines SPF records.

And just recently we received a spate of spam that came from a domain
that disappeared almost immediately. Domain names are cheap. They can
vouch for the spam run. Then what happens to them doesn't matter. But
the SPF record passes.

Too many people think SPF is a free lunch.
