However, more often than not, a domain owner misses out on specifying a legitimate third-party sending source. This can trigger the error. . Messages relayed through one or more intermediaries Multiple hops in between your email server and its ultimate destination (for example, if you’re sending through an external relay), means they won’t be listed in your domain’s SPF record and can be the probable cause for an error. This is because during email forwarding. When a message passes through an intermediary Job Function Email List server, the email header information gets altered in transit where the return-path address now points to the intermediary’s domain. Your receiver’s server may not recognize this external relay as a legitimate sender, thereby returning “ SPF Check Failed” . Spoofed Mail ‘From’ Address Spoofed mail ‘From’ addresses are used to make it look like an email is coming from a legitimate source, but in reality, it is being sent by someone else. This can be done through any number of methods, including forging headers and messages or by directly using a legitimate domain for malicious purposes. The problem with this is that messages using spoofed mail ‘From’ addresses do not pass SPF checks because the return-path domain doesn’t align with the mail ‘From’ (domain misalignment). attack may trigger a similar error response and lead to SPF fail.
