The following example shows a user configuring the SPF/SIDF verification using the SPF Only
conformance level. The appliance performs the HELO identity check and accepts the None and Neutral
verification results and rejects the others. The CLI prompts for the SMTP actions are the same for all
identity types. The user does not define the SMTP actions for the MAIL FROM identity. The appliance
automatically accepts all verification results for the identity. The appliance uses the default reject code
and text for all REJECT results.
