senders can't anticpate the result of a policy, then they won't publish
it.


The receivers don't follow a sender policy. They merely read it and 
interpret it.

I do see your point about the need for receivers to behave consistently. 
In 
this case, the receiver should be rejecting all SPF NONE and SPF UNKNOWN 
email just as he rejects SPF NEUTRAL email.

Out of curiosity, who is this receiver and is he on this list? Perhaps we 
could hear why he is doing what he is doing?

They are subscribed to the list, but I know they were out of the office 
today.
