Courier has set: BOFHSPFMAILFROM=pass,none,unknown,softfail,neutral

I think the test against the MX is a different one. Perhaps the complete specification from etc/bofh would help here. IIRC, the MX test is actually controlled with BOFHCHECKHELO and BOFHSPFHELO.

I see. Yes, looks like BOFHSPFHELO=0 would be one direction to go. But, I shy away from making expections like this, so I suggested the user use an office (local) address, or actually authenticate to cogeco.ca to go through their server. Simple fix... ;-)
