Is SPF used in SMTP block?

We receive messages that include points for SPF. For example:
  • SPF [PermError]: 8
But that score is not being included when blocking the message at the SMTP level. In the SPF config, we do have "Enable Inbound SMTP Blocking" turned on.

SMTP Filtering and Spam filtering are scored separately.    Does this explain your symptoms?
