Looking at the headers above, if the SPF record for customer.com does

OK, but how can people ever send e-mail then? That server is very alone
somewhere in a dark room, seeing no daylight until the end of his life.
Hard to imagine anybody going there directly to send some mail.
ATM, I use pop-before-smtp to authenticate users, afterwards allowing
them to send. It's working, but if that SPF check truly has to fail, it
would mean it has to fail on all mail sent over my server (nearly all
domains have strict SPF). I looked at some messages, none has that
check failing (even from that customer).

Only mail sent _to your server_ by your own users will fail since SA
doesn't see that user relaying through their own MSA first (SA doesn't
know who you users are, unless of course they are trusted). Mail sent
to external servers will not fail (they'll get an SPF_PASS).
