I'm sorry, but your query below does not parse. The envelope sender does not change depending on which host it arrives from when using Thunderbird et al. The host from which it arrives changes, but that's not part of the envelope. And yes, you can disable anything with a network profile. rt

I think perhaps SPF is supposed to match against the sender in the envelope, or possibly the received header, rather than the From header, which is trivially forged. Others will be able to give more information. I know the rule score of .001 is deliberate, but I don't recall immediately why. It
