SPF or Sender Policy Framework in full, is, as far as I understand, not
something which the eMail client or mailing list processor has to included as
some header field in outgoing messages. I just had to click something in the
admin interface to my webspace and copy-n-past some text from somewhere else,
following the instructions I had been given by the support people at the web
space and email provider[1], and off it went.
For more information see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework
This is the introduction to the en.Wikipedia article on SPF:
