No, SPF would not have prevented that. The sender would have said "MAIL
FROM: myownsite.com", and "From: security@redhat.com" to you and you
would be none the wiser. How often do you read your mail transactions to

and their dog wants to have opinions about how mail transport done.
Learning how it works is much wiser, but few do.
