Sites advertise in their DNS records which the "official" outgoing email servers are. If you get email from that domain which *didn't* go through one of those servers, it must be SPAM (or a mis-configured source system, which I ran into once, and had to convince them that they violated their own rules). Not all systems support (or even recognize) SPF. Some competing systems have even sprung up by Microsoft and Yahoo (the old "not invented here, therefore we must re-invent it" syndrome). -- Kevin J.
