The SMTP MAIL FROM command.

No, BOFHSPFMAILFROM checks the SMTP MAIL FROM command. BOFHSPFFROM checks=20
the From: field. The courier man page makes this distinction clear:

opt BOFHSPFMAILFROM=3Dkeywords
Use Sender Policy Framework to verify the return address i=
n the
MAIL FROM command sent by the connecting SMTP client. See
Sender Policy Framework Keywords below for a list of possi=
ble
keywords.

Note
No SPF checking is done for if the MAIL FROM command speci=
fies
an empty return address (a bounce). There=C2=B4s nothing t=
o check.

opt BOFHSPFFROM=3Dkeywords
Use Sender Policy Framework to verify the return address i=
n the
From: header. See Sender Policy Framework Keywords below f=
or
important information, and a list of possible keywords.
