Explanation:

SPF verification is a feature that allows Cisco ESA to verify the authenticity of the sender's domain by checking the sender's IP address against a DNS record published by the domain owner. An SPF record is a TXT record that specifies the authorized IP addresses or hosts for sending emails from a domain, using a syntax of qualifiers, mechanisms, and modifiers.

The reason why the verification is not working properly is that SPF verification is disabled on the mail flow policy that applies to the messages sent from domain abc.com. A mail flow policy is a set of rules that determine how incoming or outgoing messages are processed by Cisco ESA, including whether to enable SPF verification or not.

To enable SPF verification on the mail flow policy, the administrator can follow these steps:

Select Mail Policies > Mail Flow Policies and click Edit Settings for the mail flow policy that applies to the messages sent from domain abc.com.

Under Sender Authentication, select Enable SPF Verification and choose an SPF conformance level from the drop-down menu.

Click Submit.

The other options are not valid reasons why the verification is not working properly, because they do not affect SPF verification on the mail flow policy.
