SPF, which abbreviates Sender Policy Framework, is a validation system that is aimed at blocking the so-called email forging. Essentially, this indicates sending a message from one e-mail address and making it appear to be sent from another with the purpose to scam in some way the individual opening it. When the SPF protection is active for a domain name, a record which contains all the mail servers authorized to email messages with addresses part of the domain is made. The record is stored on all the DNS servers that direct the Internet traffic across the globe, therefore they all will identify if an email message originates from a trustworthy server or not. The check is done at the first server where the email goes through and in the first case the e-mail message is forwarded, while in the second it is discarded and it never reaches the supposed recipient. Using SPF records for your domains will prevent all unwanted people from using your email addresses for harmful objectives.
