  SPF ([[http://www.openspf.org|Sender Policy Framework]])
- is an open standard specifying a technical method to prevent sender addre=
ss forgery. The sender's domain is matched against a list of allowed mail r=
elays for that domain. This states, for example, that mail from someone@exa=
mple.com should have come via mail.example.com and not mail.badguys.info.
+ is an open standard specifying a technical method to prevent sender addre=
ss forgery. The domain in the HELO command is matched against a list of all=
owed mail relays for that domain. This states, for example, that mail from =
someone@example.com should have come via mail.example.com and not mail.badg=
uys.info.

- This often breaks where users have forwarded their email to another domai=
n, but the forwarding mechanism is not SPF-aware. Such a user would see SPF=
_FAIL tags on some of their incoming mail.
+ In a normal mail client, the HELO command uses the internet name of the c=
omputer sending the mail, so that someone might use their computer 1-2-3-dy=
n.bigisp.com to send mail through bigisp.com's mail relay, which has an SPF=
 record indicating that that's allowed.
