I had a request from a customer to parse out some messages from a mail conversation.
Basically the email contains the following headers:
Received-SPF: pass (infra1.csuk.eu.rsa.net: 192.168.123.250 is whitelisted) receiver=infra1.csuk.eu.rsa.net; client-ip=192.168.123.250; helo=ECAT.waugh.local; envelope-from=david.waugh@waugh.local; x-software=spfmilter 2.001 http://www.acme.com/software/spfmilter/ with libspf2-1.2.10;

The header of interest here is the one called Received-SPF:
I created a parser based on Detecting Sinkholed Domains With The X-Factor Parser
On my Packet Decoder I created a parser called SPF.parser in /etc/netwitness/ng/parsers
containing the following:
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="parsers.xsd">
Whenever the Received-SPF header was seen, then the rest of the header was put into the xfactor metakey.
If your SPF fields are from a different mail provider, then you could adjust the parser accordingly.
For example if your messages had the following header:
Authentication-Results: mx.messagelabs.com; spf=pass
Then the line in the parser could be changed from:
To
If you wanted to put the result into a different metakey (for example result) then change
to
