You could start with supplying your acl where the SPF check is done.

Normally it should be in  ...

acl_check_rcpt:

... a lot of other rules ...              <= there will be an "accept"
and the email triggered it.

  # ADD SPF HERE

  # Use "spfquery" to obtain SPF status for this particular sender/host.
  # If the return code of that command is 1, this is an unauthorized sender.
  #
  deny
    message     = [SPF] $sender_host_address is not allowed to send mail
from $sender_address_domain.
    log_message = SPF check failed for $sender_address from
$sender_host_address
   
    etc.. etc..

... a few more other rules ...
