So SPF processing goes 'up the ladder' when searching for a SPF record?

Since there was not one in 'relay2.manh.com', it looked for one in
'manh.com'?

There is no SPF record for manh.com. So you are correct that the test should
have returned SPFNONE, but not for the reason you think.

SPF can - and generally does - apply to the entire domain. It is certainly
possible to have a missing host and still have an SPF record for the domain.

2006.1

If the 'domain' (a host name in this case) does not exist, should not it
return SPFNone?
