That can't be right. Try out the wizard at
 http://spf.pobox.com/wizard.html?mydomain=spamassassin.org

It gives you two choices in the last question "Do the above lines
describe all the hosts that send mail from spamassassin.org". If the
answer is yes, you get ~all in the record, if it is no you get ?all.

If you can list all sending domains, sending ip addresses, and ISP mail
servers that are allowed to send mail from a spamassassin.org address,
then you can use ~all and we can use from spamassassin.org in the SPF
test for a failed HELO. If you can't list all of them in the record, we
are forced to use ?all and we need a different domain to use for the test.

I don't want to make the change to enable the test for Windows until we
have the test fixed to not fail.
