SPF, which abbreviates Sender Policy Framework, is a validation system that aims at protecting against the so-called email forging. Basically, this indicates sending some message from one e-mail and making it seem to be sent from another one with the purpose to scam in some way the individual receiving it. If the SPF protection is running for a domain name, a record that contains 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 route the Internet traffic globally, therefore they all can recognize if an email message comes from a trustworthy server or not. The check is conducted at the first server where the e-mail goes through and in the first case the message is forwarded, whereas in the second it's discarded and it never reaches the supposed recipient. Employing SPF records for your domains will prevent all unauthorized people from making use of your email addresses for harmful objectives.
