comment about other mailers, but Exim will choke on any query with an

I don't understand this. Surely Exim doesn't have any code to implement SPF at this time. And surely any code that that got added to Exim to support SPF would be constructing it's own queries to DNS. So I don't see how any part of Exim would be involved that would check this rule. Does Exim have some sort of layer over DNS that enforces this rule at a lower level, and that any SPF could would have to call? Or does Exim have some sort generic, configurable DNS query for validity system that could be used for SPF, and that has a rule check?
