But if both sender_helo_name and sender_address are empty (no HELO/EHLO and
then MAIL FROM:<>) there's not much to do, is there? Exim could simulate an
SPF_RESULT_NEUTRAL or SPF_RESULT_NONE, perhaps.

Regarding "err_perm" vs "unknown (permanent error)" I think maybe it's best if
Exim provided its own string representations of the result codes, instead of
calling SPF_strresult().
