I'm saying that people cannot send emails to your mother pretending to be you if you were to implement the changes I have suggested.
I didn't say you were phished, I said you were spoofed. Judging by your first comment, your email address being spoofed is how your mother was phished.
I do understand :) Perhaps my first comment was not clear. She never received anything from me. I'm not involved at all. It was her friend that got originally phished, which then sent a legitimate email (from an SPF record perspective) to her, which then phished her credentials, and so forth.
