SPF, which abbreviates Sender Policy Framework, is a verification system that aims at protecting against the so-called email faking. In simple terms, this means sending a message from one e-mail address and making it look like it’s sent from a different one with the idea to scam in some manner the person getting it. In the event that the SPF protection is activated for a domain name, a record that contains all mail servers authorized to send messages with addresses under the domain is generated. The record is saved on all of the DNS servers that route the Internet traffic around the world, so that they all will identify if an e-mail message originates from a trustworthy server or not. The check is done at the very first server where the email goes through and in the first case the email message is forwarded, whereas in the second one it is discarded and it never gets to the intended recipient. Employing SPF records for your domains will prevent all unwanted people from making use of your email addresses for malicious objectives.
