SPF SOFTFAIL not working properly

[Jim Hermann]

Is anyone else seeing incorrect SPF_SOFTMAIL false positives?

Here is an example that I was able to isolate to a test file.

The debug looks like this:

[28763] dbg: spf: checking EnvelopeFrom (helo=BABY, ip=125.214.61.195,
envfrom=marileestewart at relmaxtop.com)
[28763] dbg: spf: query for
marileestewart at relmaxtop.com/125.214.61.195/BABY: result: softfail, comment:

(Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::SPF=HASH(0x9880c54))
[28763] dbg: rules: ran eval rule SPF_SOFTFAIL ======> got hit
