* The sender address shown to the user ("RFC5322.From") is not used when authenticating. SPF uses the invisible "RFC5321.MailFrom" header. Combining SPF with DMARC removes this disadvantage.
* E-mail forwarding is not supported, since the e-mail is often forwarded by another e-mail server.
* SPF does not work between domains that use the same e-mail server.
* Parked domains should be explicitly configured to not use e-mail. For SPF this is done with an empty policy and a hard fail: "v=spf1 –all".
