I'm beginning to see more SPF HELO fails for good email from some places I would have thought would know better. I got a number of those from IBM corporate mail servers (and other places too). I don't reject on a HELO failure, just mark it and send it on so I didn't miss anything. Is it worth trying to contact domain owners and let them know about this type of failure?

Absolutely, if they don't know, it may come to a resolution as a result of your email. (Shame on IBM, supposedly a leader in technology)

I really encourage people to use SPF as much as possible, but people must use it "properly" so others (me) can depend on the validity of any failures (to me the SPF FAIL is the most important aspect).

I would be interested in what the "Community" thinks about this.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a nice looking and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, "WOW! WHAT A RIDE!"
