SPF, which is an abbreviation for Sender Policy Framework, is a verification system that is aimed at stopping the so-called e-mail forging. Basically, it indicates sending some message from one email address and making it seem to be sent from another with the purpose to scam in some manner the person receiving it. In the event that the SPF protection is activated for a domain, a record which includes all mail servers authorized to email messages with addresses within the domain is created. The record is placed on all the DNS servers that route the web traffic internationally, thus they all will recognize whether an email message comes 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 e-mail message is forwarded, but in the second it is removed and it never gets to the supposed recipient. Employing SPF records for your domains will stop any unauthorized people from making use of your emails for harmful purposes.
