Well, i maybe seeing only in black and white, but if somebody is careless enough
to not set SPF and DKIM, they pretty much asked for it.  These mechanisms are in
place to help fighting spam, after all.  So yeah, i hear what you say and it
looks that i'll have to adapt my anti-spam strategy based on the feedback i get
from the logs.

What i don't quite understand is why the open[dkim|dmarc] documentation say that
messages that fail the respective checks are going to be rejected, while in
practice this isn't so.  One of those mysteries...

Nevermind, this isn't the right place to discuss, except if maybe postfix
interprets the open[dkim|dmarc] return code in specific way.
