[Bug 5077] New: SPF plugin defaults to SOFTFAIL when DNS queries timeout

http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=5077

           Summary: SPF plugin defaults to SOFTFAIL when DNS queries timeout
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Plugins
        AssignedTo: spamassassin@dostech.ca
        ReportedBy: spamassassin@dostech.ca
                CC: dev@spamassassin.apache.org


The SPF plugin defaults to SOFTFAIL when DNS queries timeout causing FPs for
domains that don't even publish SPF records, not good!

This applies to both the envelope checks and the silly HELO checks.  Notice that
when this happens you'll see no reason logged for the failure in the report.

	*  1.4 SPF_SOFTFAIL SPF: sender does not match SPF record (softfail)
	*      [SPF failed: ]
