I'm guessing I fall into the failed category as my domain is hosted by Easyspace but I use my ISP's SMTP server, which is smtp.ntlworld.comWe were talking about SPF here a few months ago and since then I have noticed that a few people post to the list from IP addresses that don't match the SPF record of their domains. Usually the envelope-from is an address on a personal domain or a webmail account, but the mail is sent through an ISP. The list software doesn't block but adds a Received-SPF: (soft)fail header. Now whatever you do isn't my business, but because I have an interest in SPF, I wonder if you get away with this: I know many spam filters add a few points to the spam score for failed SPF, while some MTAs even block these connections outright.
