SPF

Abbreviation for Sender Policy Framework

In short and in plain language

SPF is an entry for a domain on the internet.

It sets out which servers may send email for this domain.

If it is missing or wrong, emails easily end up in spam. This can happen, for example, with emails from a contact form.
