Good question.  However, an SPF check can go forward if "Return-Path" is
present (since that is the envelope-from data).  Also, some people specifically
disable the "Received-SPF"/"Authentication-Results" check because they consider
that as untrusted, especially for forwarded mail.

Although technically incorrect, I do feel that "from" (as a fallback to RP)
should be tested as in the plurality of e-mail, it will be correct.  SPF
testing "from" will also catch the case where spam is forged in the headers to
be from the recipient, as those who do send messages to themselves will often
know where such messages will source and can designate an SPF string which will
detect such forgeries.  Testing "from" is better than testing nothing.
