Why do my business email messages say "via Yahoo" at other mail providers?

Some email service providers add this note when messages say they're from one domain but actually come from another.
An email message with the via Yahoo Message.

When you send from your business email account (like info@widgetdesigns.com) the message actually goes out from Yahoo's mail servers--those say yahoo.com. Since these two domain names are different, the mail service may show your message as being from info@widgetdesigns.com via yahoo.com.

This can often be resolved by adding a Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record to your domain's TXT file. Learn more about SPF records.

Note: Adding an SPF record does not guarantee removal of the via yahoo.com message on third party mail providers.
