OK, but that's what is available in the message.  The actual envelope data does
not necessarily get passed.  Depending on the actual MTA => SA interface, the
envelope data may not be available, or it may be available and a dummy
"Return-Path: <_envelope_from_>" could be inserted (even if not a final
delivery).  As this is MTA dependent, just how would you propose "fixing" it?

In my opinion, SPF checking should be at the MTA level directly (and during
SMTP at the "MAIL FROM" stage, while SA typically runs after the "DATA" state
-- at EOM or after SMTP message acceptance).
