otherwise you would not be able to set a SPF-record for your CNAMES

I don't get this. HELO must be canonical name, so it must not be CNAME.
Thus, there's no need to follow CNAMEs in SPF when checking for HELO.
when you check HELO, the CNAME should be treated as error

see first repsonse to that thread

it does not explain why should it cause problems for HELO SPF.  as I have
already noted, using CNAME for HELO violates SMTP RFC, so there's technically no
reason to follow CNAME expecially in these cases - it's alredy broken and
failing the check would be (imho) proper reaction.

what do i mean with "is always followed"?
