SPF = Sender Policy Framework..
It's a new sort of spam filter, that is better than the Microsoft offering.
SPF is merely designed to tell you whether an email has come from an authorised server for that domain. If an SPF check fails, it's probably spam. (Or a roaming user and someone hasn't got their config right.) If email passes an SPF check, it doesn't mean it's not spam - spammers can buy their own domains for a couple of bucks and publish their own SPF records. cheers, Jamie -- James Riden / j.riden(a)massey.ac.nz / Systems Security Engineer Information Technology Services, Massey University, NZ.
