Meng,

Would it be difficult for the guess routine to return 'fail' as well as
'pass' and 'neutral'?

"Guess shall not fail"

It is a matter of design. If a domain does not publish SPF records, it may be OK to guess and give it a pass. It is not acceptable to generate a fail based on guessing instead of verifiable information, otherwise you would risk falsely rejecting legitimate mail.

If you want to override something, just use the local option that was already mentioned.
