your server, your rules. I personally don't use SA to police the
network, but to detect spam. In addition, I prefer to let spam slip than
block legitimate mail. I also won't block forwarded mail just because it
fails SPF. but of course, YMMV.

since PSF fail doesn't mean spam (nor spf $success mean legitimate
mail), it's here (in SA) only as an additionnal parameter which value
contributes to a global result.

now if you want to jump in the spf crusade, you should use it in the MTA
and probably not care in a content filter.
