Ok, I findout some stuff here:

1 - This is not the only message this happens.  Other messages that 
    should have triggered SPF rules did not.

2 - This is happening when using spamd.

3 - When running these messages by hand against spamassassin -D
    never got a missing SPF rule.

So, for some reason, spamd sometimes skips SPF tests.
Is this right?  Would spamd skip some tests for any reason? Load?
Network timeout?

Any pointer is appreciated.
