Hi Steven,
free.fr does have SPF and it checks out as valid. It has been in place since at least March 29th and probably for years before that.
You did not show the context of the SPF softfail you posted but it is probably your own mail server or your ISP's mail server saying that Antoine's post from the list did not come from a free.fr server - which is of course true as it came from the list server.
SPF, DKIM, and DMARC don't play well with mail forwarding or mailing lists but this would not be relevant to Antoine's attempts to send a regular email via a regular mail server.
I've looked at several list message headers now, and no one else I've checked has a softfail there—it's either
DMARC_POLICY_ALLOW(-0.50)[domain];
or
DMARC_NA(0.00)[domain];
So the list server isn't causing the softfail. Something else isn't right. (And I think it's the list server itself that's doing that bit of spam scoring—the only messages that lack it are the ones sent from HyperKitty.)
