What Is SPF?

SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a DNS record listing the mail servers authorized to send email for a domain. Receiving servers check it to detect forged sender addresses, making SPF a first line of defense against domain spoofing and phishing.

How Whisper models it

HOSTNAME—SPF_INCLUDE / SPF_IP→authorized sender

Each SPF mechanism is its own edge type, so the full authorized-sender set is one traversal.
