SPF, which abbreviates Sender Policy Framework, is a verification system that aims at stopping the so-called e-mail forging. Basically, this indicates sending some message from one e-mail and making it look like it’s sent from another one with the purpose to scam in some manner the individual receiving it. In the event that the SPF protection is activated for a domain, a record which includes all of the mail servers authorized to send messages with addresses part of the domain is created. The record is placed on all the DNS servers that direct the Internet traffic across the globe, thus they all will recognize whether an e-mail message originates from an authentic server or not. The check is done at the very first server where the e-mail goes through and in the first case the email message is forwarded, but in the second it is removed and it never gets to the intended recipient. Using SPF records for your domain names will prevent any unwanted people from making use of your emails for harmful objectives.
