I'm not sure.... SPF seems to be controlled by the domain host and/or
site host.

I'm having to move to a new host (still trying to figure out how to
get the wiki installed), and a tech for my new host sent me a link to
instructions on setting up SPF so that I can send email via my ISP.

How many businesses, even large ones are their own domain/site hosts?

In any event, it simply says that such emails will end up in the junk
mail folder, meaning that the emails will still be available to the
user.
