I don't view it as "placating", just good service and good net

they use an email account at an SPF-checking service/site, and if the
forwarded mail fails I get the bounces back to the sender.  By
rejecting on SPF fail, I don't forward forged mail "from" people like
you, so I don't get bounces to forward "back" to you either.

OTOH, when I reject forged mail, the site trying to send/relay the
forged mail here may send a bounce "back" to you.  This is probably
little better than having me forward a bounce to you would be, so your
"-all" may not help you as much as you'd like.


Do you provide a facility for your customers to whitelist addresses against rejection due to SPF failure?
