What you're saying is: you have a website with a contact form, which generates an email to your rich@xxxxxxxxxx address. A lot of these emails are marked as spam and you suspect SPF may be the issue. How to change that? What dummy address are you using? One that is at all related to the website? If not, if you enter an email address with the same domain as the website (e.g. noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) and the IP address that the web server is running on in this form https://vamsoft.com/support/tools/spf-policy-tester does it tell you 'pass' at the very bottom? If yes, just use that address instead of the dummy one. If not, or if you were already using such an address, what does it say? Are you able to modify the SPF record for the website's domain?
