Why would you want to accept forgeries?

Because the sender company is run by complete idiots when it
comes to email, and all their legitmate mail gets an SPF fail.
E.g. blockbuster.com sends emails notifications with a MAIL FROM of
custhelp.com - which custhelp.com does not authorize them to do.

However, pymilter lets you configure policy by domain.  So, my access
file includes:

SPF-Neutral:aol.com     REJECT
SPF-Fail:custhelp.com   CBV
SPF-Softfail:           CBV
SPF-Softfail:ebay.com   REJECT
SPF-PermError:          CBV
