spf has also been adding headers inconsistently. Some messages have an

spf-milter, and any other milter, can only add headers at eom_callback: at
the "end of message" callback, that is. If a message gets aborted earlier,
no header will be added. This is part of the Milter protocol.

May 24 15:41:49 mailgate sendmail[2596]: [ID 801593 mail.info]
i4OMfnln002596: Milter add: header: Received-SPF: unknown (mailgate:
error in processing during lookup of user(_at_)domain(_dot_)com)
(headers are added in each case)

Lookup by hand on the mail gateway is returning txt records properly.
Of the two milters running, spf comes first, then greylist.

Is this really a lookup error?
Is it trying to lookup the user(_at_)domain(_dot_)com instead of just 
domain.com?

Who is "it"? Also, I do not understand your last comment: lookups on
user(_at_)domain(_dot_)com are always done on domain.com (within the
Mail-SPF-Query-1.997 module).
