too hard to explain but will try :)
 
I have problem with of local domains and local IP. Have process which
process all mail where is spamassasin score > 4 (hardcoded, newer had time
to finish this application, just put this from beta to production
environment, this one processiong my own domain lists, black and white,
that's reason for negative score). Next -> I lose last source code :(((, my
HDD just die and DAT tape too (newer anymore DAT), actually this is reason
why newer finish it. Now must do it all again, have a lot of stufs ready but
...time is many, many is time, my boss have other priority list ... problem
is still hardcoded "4" :)
 
For a moment can't do anything and don't want to touch anything, need a
little more time to finish my own MTA.

If you apply pass --> -3: Spammers who implement SPF can then use their
published SPF to try to get past your other spamassassin rule weights.

Move it towards rejection for a failure (indicating probably forgery), but
moving it to less rejection based solely on SPF Pass: Bad idea.

I think you would be best advised to use SPF PASS to then apply the domain
to reputation listings (which I believe there are no real good ones yet, but
hope to be corrected  :)

Sorry, this is bad definition, I have problem to balance some other
mechanism which afect 

indirectly spamassasin, to explain better should be :



pass     ->     -3 spamassasin score

softfail ->     +2 spamassasin score

neutral  ->     0 spamassasin score







  

- fail is fail -> rejected

- pass ->       -1 spamassasin score

- softfail ->   +4 spamassasin score

- neutral ->    +2 spamassasin score



      



  

But please don't give a bad score for NEUTRAL.  It's supposed to be

just

like no SPF at all.
