Are you sure that the connection was reaching you?.... the ACL 'deny' in the snippet you quote above will cause a log entry in mainlog and rejectlog. sky.com's SPF record looks sane, and in fact won't cause any SPF failures since it ends in '~all'. Although it doesn't actually follow Google's instructions for 'corporate' gmail - they're probably a special case.... You probably need to do some debug sessions with exim -bh and a selection of IP addresses from sky's SPF record (and outside it) and see if any clues are forthcoming.
