I'm getting more and more spam that uses one domain for the <return-path> header and another domain (typically my own domain) for the <from> header. I have discovered that the SPF matcher only checks the <return-path> domain and ignores the <from> domain. It would seem to me that if only one header domain is checked, it would make more sense to to check the <from> address, since that is the one that is most likely being spoofed and is the one that appears in the email client.

Is there a reason why SPF only checks the <return-path> header and not the <from> header? I'm back to allowing all kinds of spam getting through the server to my clients that is supposedly "from me".

Advice? Is this an oversight? Is it by design?
Thx.

Jerry
