SPF is an extension to Internet e-mail.  It prevents unauthorized people from forging your e-mail address (see the [[Introduction|introduction]]).  But for it to work, your or your e-mail service provider's setup may need to be adjusted.  Otherwise, the system may mistake you for an unauthorized sender.

=== How can I reference this web page for explaining SPF results?

This web page is a public service of the SPF project.  SPF implementations can (and do) use it to help explain the results of SPF checks by presenting to users a parameterized link to this page.  See the [[Why/API|"Why?" page documentation]] for details on how this works.
