Hmm, SOFTFAIL scores higher than FAIL??
Maybe because some (many?) people reject SPF fail at SMTP time, so
spam with SPF fail is not presented to SpamAssassin.
Actually this makes sense in my situation.
I normally reject at the MTA on FAIL and let everything else through
where it gets examined by SA. I have users who use AUTH to connect to
my server from outside to send mail. The MTA correctly ignores the
fact that they are connected from a unauthorized, according to SPF,
IP address but because SA scans the outgoing email regardless, it
scores that message as a FAIL. If the score was too high for FAIL
then these legitimate messages could be rejected even before they
left the sending server.
