Refer to the exhibit.

spf-status is the section of the filter that must be modified to correct this behavior. spf-status is a condition that determines whether a message matches the content filter rule based on the result of SPF verification, such as pass, fail, neutral, etc.

The content filter in the exhibit has a spf-status condition set to “Pass”, which means that it will match messages that passed SPF verification and apply the action of “Quarantine”. This is the opposite of what the network engineer intended to do.

To correct this behavior, the network engineer can modify the spf-status condition to “Fail”, which means that it will match messages that failed SPF verification and apply the action of “Quarantine”.

The other options are not valid sections of the filter that must be modified to correct this behavior, because they do not affect the spf-status condition.
