I have just started learning about SPF, and have a few questions about it
1. Is there a SPF server where a domain must register its mail server and email addresses?
2. An email server that received a message from aaa@yyy.com, and uses sender ID framework (SIDF) to authenticate messages. Will it compare the hostname of the email server of domain yyy.com (which is mailserver.yyy.com) with the hostname name registered in a SPF server?
3. I have a hotmail account, and I know Hotmail uses SIDF to authenticate messages. I receive a message from viff@viff.org, but viff.org does not have a SPF record (I checked it at http://www.kitterman.com/spf/validate.html). How did Hotmail authenticated it?
4. I used the following commands to send me a message, but didn't receive it. Why did I received this message from viff@viff.org, but not the following one?
