There is no SPF record for manh.com. So you are correct that the test should have returned SPFNONE, but not for the reason you think.

SPF can - and generally does - apply to the entire domain. It is certainly possible to have a missing host and still have an SPF record for the domain.

2006.1

If the 'domain' (a host name in this case) does not exist, should not it
return SPFNone?
