SPF, which is an abbreviation for Sender Policy Framework, is a verification system that is aimed at stopping the so-called email faking. Basically, it indicates sending a message from one e-mail address and making it look like it’s sent from another one with the objective to scam in some way the individual getting it. In the event that the SPF protection is active for a domain name, a record which has all mail servers authorized to send messages with addresses under the domain is created. The record is stored on all of the DNS servers that route the Internet traffic globally, so that they all will identify if an e-mail message originates from a valid server or not. The verification is conducted at the first server where the email goes through and in the first case the message is forwarded, but in the second it is removed and it never reaches the supposed recipient. Using SPF records for your domain names will prevent all unauthorized people from using your emails for malicious purposes.
