Actually, if you publish SPF records for your domain AND the receiving mail server is checking SPF records then the remote mail server will know that the message came from an IP Address that you haven't specified as on authorized to send mail for your domain. From there it is up to the m to decide what to do with it

Subject: [IMail Forum] Mail send from other IP pretending to be our domain


Can I get an explanation how I can stop an other IP from pretending to be my
domain and send mail to my users.

Our IP: 216.152.171.37 and
IP 66.205.12.246 is NOT curlink.com
