Editing Sender Policy Framework (section)

===Reasons to implement===
If a domain publishes an SPF record, spammers and phishers are less likely to forge emails pretending to be from that domain, because the forged emails are more likely to be caught in spam filters which check the SPF record. Therefore, an SPF-protected domain is less attractive to spammers and phishers. Because an SPF-protected domain is less attractive as a spoofed address, it is less likely to be denylisted by spam filters and so ultimately the legitimate email from the domain is more likely to get through.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.emailmanual.co.uk/index.php/2009/05/why-should-i-implement-a-spf-record-on-my-domain/ |title=Why should I implement a SPF record on my domain? |publisher=Email Manual |date=May 2009 |access-date=2010-01-01 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100129195805/http://www.emailmanual.co.uk/index.php/2009/05/why-should-i-implement-a-spf-record-on-my-domain |archive-date=January 29, 2010 }}</ref>
