Possibly. My understanding was that SPF stopped emails coming from what
was apparently the wrong server for the domain.
e.g. my email address is g...@bainb.co.uk. If I send any email it has
that 'From' address, no matter which server I send it through.
If I send this via the server where my domain is registered - in my case
my own server, but previously the server belonging to my ISP - then it is
accepted.
However if I send an email with my 'From' address (g...@bainb.co.uk) via
my cellphone company's server then it will be rejected by the recipient
as that server is not in my domain's DNS record. Note that I have to use
their server if I send an email via my phone (at least that's true unless
I use my own webmail).

Have I misunderstood?
