SPF, which is an abbreviation for Sender Policy Framework, is a validation system that aims at protecting against the so-called e-mail forging. In simple terms, this indicates sending a message from one email address and making it seem to be sent from another with the purpose to scam in some manner the person getting it. In the event that the SPF protection is active for a domain name, a record which contains all mail servers authorized to send messages with addresses in the domain is created. The record is kept on all DNS servers that direct the Internet traffic internationally, thus they all will identify if an email message originates from a legitimate server or not. The check is conducted at the very first server where the e-mail goes through and in the first case the email message is forwarded, and in the second it is discarded and it never reaches its intended recipient. Applying SPF records for your domain names will stop any unauthorized people from making use of your emails for harmful purposes.
