So I'm assuming that a hard fail anywhere takes precedence, does anybody know the rules, I could not find any references.
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7208#section-8.5 A "softfail" result ought to be treated as somewhere between "fail" and "neutral"/"none". The ADMD believes the host is not authorized but is not willing to make a strong policy statement. Receiving software SHOULD NOT reject the message based solely on this result, but MAY subject the message to closer scrutiny than normal. So technically you could reject on a softfail but you shouldn't. But the spammy-ness could be increased for example on the message which may make the message be rejected.
