No, that wouldn't help (because SPF 'protects' a different From address
than the one you see in your mail client).

There are many good reasons why someone would receive emails from their
own email address, automatic alerts being one common example.

While most usesrs will never receive legitimate emails from their own
address, it is too common a use case for spam filters to block them
outright.

I have just checked my junk folder. There are 26 emails in there, of which 11 are supposedly from me. Looking at the subjects I see that I seem to have a job vacancy available. Also, the crisis is over so come to work for me. Apparently I even have some accommodation available.

What a load of rubbish. I can't give any more details as I never open them. Such a waste of my time,

Neil
