SPF, which abbreviates Sender Policy Framework, is a validation system that aims at blocking the so-called e-mail faking. Essentially, this indicates sending some message from one email and making it seem to be sent from a different one with the idea to scam in some way the person getting it. If the SPF protection is activated for a domain name, a record that includes all of the mail servers authorized to send messages with addresses part of the domain is generated. The record is kept on all of the DNS servers that route the web traffic globally, therefore they all can recognize whether an email message comes from a valid server or not. The verification is done at the first server where the e-mail goes through and in the first case the e-mail message is forwarded, while in the second it's removed and it never reaches its intended recipient. Employing SPF records for your domains will stop all unwanted people from using your email addresses for harmful objectives.
