For this reason, a message<\/span><span style=\"font-family: \'Times New Roman\',Times,Georgia,serif; color: #010100;\">\'<\/span><span class=\"f_BodyText\">s spam score will not be lowered as a result of SPF or DKIM verification unless the domain taken from the signature is on the Approved List.

You can, however, append any of the flags listed below if you wish to prevent either of those verification methods from reducing the score. There is also a flag that you can use to prevent verified messages from being passed through the Spam Filter.<\/span><\/p>\n\r<div style=\"text-align: left; text-indent: 0; padding: 0 0 0 0; margin: 0.3125rem 1.3125rem 0.2500rem 2.3125rem;\"><table style=\"border:none;border-spacing:0;padding:0;line-height: normal;\"><tr style=\"vertical-align:baseline\"><td style=\"border:none;padding:0;width:2.9375rem\"><span style=\"font-family: \'Microsoft Sans Serif\'; color: #010100;\">-spf<\/span><\/td><td style=\"border:none;padding:0\"> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<span style=\"font-family: \'Microsoft Sans Serif\'; color: #010100;\">Don<\/span><span style=\"font-family: \'Times New Roman\',Times,Georgia,serif; color: #010100;\">\'<\/span><span style=\"font-family: \'Microsoft Sans Serif\'; color: #010100;\">t lower the spam score for SPF verified messages sent by this domain.<\/span><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/div>\n\r<div style=\"text-align: left; text-indent: 0; padding: 0 0 0 0; margin: 0.3125rem 1.3125rem 0.2500rem 2.3125rem;\"><table style=\"border:none;border-spacing:0;padding:0;line-height: normal;\"><tr style=\"vertical-align:baseline\"><td style=\"border:none;padding:0;width:2.9375rem\"><span style=\"font-family: \'Microsoft Sans Serif\'; color: #010100;\">-dkim<\/span><\/td><td style=\"border:none;padding:0\"> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<span style=\"font-family: \'Microsoft Sans Serif\'; color: #010100;\">Don<\/span><span style=\"font-family: \'Times New Roman\',Times,Georgia,serif; color: #010100;\">\'<\/span><span style=\"font-family: \'Microsoft Sans Serif\'; color: #010100;\">t lower the spam score for DKIM verified messages from this domain.<\/span><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/div>\n\r<div style=\"text-align: left; text-indent: 0; padding: 0 0 0 0; margin: 0.3125rem 1.3125rem 0.2500rem 2.3125rem;\"><table style=\"border:none;border-spacing:0;padding:0;line-height: normal;\"><tr style=\"vertical-align:baseline\"><td style=\"border:none;padding:0;width:2.9375rem\"><span style=\"font-family: \'Microsoft Sans Serif\'; color: #010100;\">-sf<\/span><\/td><td style=\"border:none;padding:0\"> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<span style=\"font-family: \'Microsoft Sans Serif\'; color: #010100;\">Don<\/span><span style=\"font-family: \'Times New Roman\',Times,Georgia,serif; color: #010100;\">\'<\/span><span style=\"font-family: \'Microsoft Sans Serif\'; color: #010100;\">t process verified messages from this domain through the Spam Filter.<\/span><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/div>\n\r<p class=\"p_BodyText\"><span class=\"f_BodyText\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_DialogSectionHeading\" style=\"page-break-after: avoid;\"><span class=\"f_DialogSectionHeading\">DMARC and the Approved List<\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_BodyText\"><span class=\"f_BodyText\"><a href=\"security--dmarc_verification.html\" class=\"topiclink\">DMARC Verification<\/a> also utilizes the Approved List, which can<\/span><span class=\"f_BodyText\"> exempt based on verified DKIM identifiers and SPF paths from sources you trust.

The same happens if SPF path verification matches a domain on the Approved List.<\/span><\/p>\n\r"
