I am trying to understand the difference between 'softfail' and

A 'neutral' result should be treated exactly the same as if there were
no SPF records at all. 'neutral' provides a way to supply SPF info
for only a subset of all possible IP addresses, rather than being forced
to pronounce 'yea', 'nay', or 'mu' for every possible IP.
