It is a clear cut voilation if SPF(MFROM) returns anything
but a FAIL or PASS because the client is stating it is inside
the secured autorized sending network.

Ok, guys.  A member of the SPF council fails the HELO test :-)

The HELO name, "primefactor.com" has an SPF record.  The IP address used
by his CBV code gets an SPF fail.

His MTA then rejects my mail:
   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
    (reason: 550 5.7.1 <mark(_at_)primefactor(_dot_)com>... recipient denied, 
because MX 5
'mail.bmsi.com.' [24.248.44.156] 
(_dot_)(_dot_)(_dot_)=stuart(_at_)bmsi(_dot_)com> did not accept the empty
address, <>, as required by RFC 821, 1123, 2505, and 2821)

Once I figure out a workaround, I'll notify him by private email...
