• An email authentication method designed to detect forged sender addresses during the delivery of the email. SPF alone, however, is limited to detecting a forged sender claim in the envelope of the email, which is used when the mail gets bounced. Only in combination with DMARC can it be used to detect the forging of the visible sender in emails (email spoofing), a technique often used in phishing and email spam. ← Wikipedia
