It works! Okay, so it's no big deal, but it excited me (doesn't say much for my social life, I know). I went to /var/qmail/control/spfbehavior as you recommended, the default value was 3, so I left it there.
Then I went to the website (below) that you gave me the link to, where I followed instructions for adding another file called spfrules, which is an includes:<usually.backup.mx-server> file. I also used the spf setup wizard at http://spf.pobox.com/index.html to come up with a string to put in my dns provider's zone file. Upon testing, found that when sending from a domain that hasn't implemented spf, I'm getting the right softfail notification in the headers.

Most of the configuration for spf is done in DNS, not qmail. Go to http://spf.pobox.com/ and use their wizard to generate rules. The Qmail configuration is basically one file: /var/qmail/control/spfbehavior More info available here: http://www.saout.de/misc/spf/ spfbehavior Use this to turn on SPF checking. The default value is 0 (off). You can specify a value between 0 and 6: * 0: Never do SPF lookups, don't create Received-SPF headers * 1: Only create Received-SPF headers, never block * 2: Use temporary errors when you have DNS lookup problems * 3: Reject mails when SPF resolves to fail (deny) * 4: Reject mails when SPF resolves to softfail * 5: Reject mails when SPF resolves to neutral * 6: Reject mails when SPF does not resolve to pass Values bigger than 3 are strongly discouraged, you probably want to go with 2 or 3. Important: This setting can be overridden using the environment variable SPFBEHAVIOR, e.g. from tcpserver rules. Note: If RELAYCLIENT is set, SPF checks won't run at all.
