Here are the results. There were some repititions of tests in the data, but this is mostly from unique senders. In particular, the permerror results tended to be tested more than once, so the actual permerror rate is somewhat
lower than the numbers below would indicate.

This is only partially automated, so I may, or may not, do this again in the
future.  No promises.

The main conclusion I draw from this is that we need a better wizard, but we
knew that already.

Total - 147

Mail-From Results:

pass - 62
none - 63
fail - 2
softfail - 3
neutral - 6
temperror - 0
permerror - 10

HELO Results:

pass - 26
fail - 0
none - 117
softfail - 1
neutral - 0
temperror - 1
permerror - 2

One of the numbers that stands out to me is the 'none - 117' under the HELO Results category. That one tells me that the Project web site probably needs to be clearer about that aspect of SPF policy.

As a matter of fact I think the project web site is lacking in the area of educating people about the need to provide an SPF policy for all their domains and sub-domains. I know it's in the FAQ but it needs to be upfront more.
