Quick question:

Does it make sense to do a linear parse on what has a NEUTRAL result before 
the final FAIL (-ALL)?   If it doesn't compare in the ?INCLUDE directives, 
then it will never get to the FAIL.  Correct?

According to some tools I used, "a:relay.pair.com" is a match.  The
result would thus be "?", not "-".

Did you expect it to short circuit?

Looks like the our SPF parser set the NEURTAL result for the INCLUDE, but 
then it still continueed to look for any more directives and it found your 
-ALL - hence the fail.  

I would think this is correct parsing. No?

First match wins.  Guess that can be called short circuit.
