Since very few sites can reject on SPF fails because SPF failures are so prevalent on legit email, I don't think this is happening in the real world.

says who?

  check_recipient_access proxy:hash:/etc/postfix/skip_spf_check.cf
  permit_dnswl_client dnswl-aggregate.thelounge.net=127.0.0.5
  permit_dnswl_client wl.mailspike.net=127.0.0.[19;20]
  permit_dnswl_client list.dnswl.org=127.0.[0..255].[2;3]
  check_policy_service unix:private/spf-policy

You are excluding a ton of clients from SPF checks with that config. How many total IPs are covered in your local dnswl-aggregate.thelounge.net whitelist?

My policyd-spf runs from the Postfix master.cf to add headers to all email for SA to examine.

If you are excluding hundred's of thousands of IPs in those 4 Postfix config lines, then that's not a legitimate claim to be rejecting SPF fails.

that's called a smart setup which prevents false-positives and using SPF in the mid-stage where the spf-polidcyd for SPF_PAS does a "permit" and hands over to the milters to save most of the generic stuff

You usually are very good with providing numbers so show us how many rejects are happening from SPF failure out of the total volume of email

not much, but that's not because the whitelists but because postscreen filters out the majority long before smptd even get a connection

SPF_NONE which maskes it to the milters get a 0.5 penalty

It sounds like to a good/solid setup but I am still thinking there are a lot of potential SPF failures being excluded by those 4 Postfix lines.

How many mailboxes do you filter for? Those numbers seem rather low so maybe a few hundred mailboxes?
