I don't think you should block however:

I'm not making any call either way - it's upto the admins involved. Personally I have a valid SPF record my milter I wrote and build from scratch the other week uses libspf2 to make determinations on whether to accept or reject email based on the pass/soft fail/hard fail, it makes no differentiation between 'has a SPF record' and 'does not have a SPF record'.

-IPv4 rate limit if the email is not authenticated (pass SPF or DKIM)
-IPv6 reject email if it is not authenticated (pass SPF or DKIM)

Personally I wouldn't treat them differently, but that my personal opinion.

        If you do expect to get forwarded mail, then it seems likely
        to cause more false positives than it's worth.


    I don't see that...  Renaud just quoted
    https://www.iplocation.net/email-delivery-problems
    <https://www.iplocation.net/email-delivery-problems> "Many mail
    servers refuse to accept emails from an IP address without SPF
    record" not that the SPF record should be restrictive when it
    comes to forwarded mail.... remembering the SPF is just to
    identify the places where a domains email may originate and
    whether the set policy is to be enforced or just used for
    information.  SPF doesn't stop forwarded email unless configured
    to do so... and not forgetting we're talking about where you're
    sending to, not about you receiving in this context.  Ie I may
    choose not to accept email from domains without SPF, if google.com
    <http://google.com> doesn't have an SPF record it would just stop
    you sending to me, if you put in a +all or ?all record into
    google.com <http://google.com>'s DNS I would accept your email...
