SPF, which abbreviates Sender Policy Framework, is a certification system that is aimed at protecting against the so-called e-mail counterfeiting. Basically, it indicates sending some message from one email address and making it seem to be sent from another one with the idea to scam in some manner the individual receiving it. In the event that the SPF protection is activated for a domain, a record which has all of the mail servers authorized to send messages with addresses within the domain is made. The record is saved on all the DNS servers that direct the web traffic across the globe, so they all will recognize if an e-mail message originates 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 email message is forwarded, whereas in the second it is removed and it never gets to the intended recipient. Applying SPF records for your domains will stop all unwanted people from using your emails for malicious objectives.

Using a very simple interface, all you will need to type in is the hostname of the mail server which will be authorized to send messages from your emails and its IPv4 or IPv6 address. Of course, you are able to add several servers as well, when needed. If your emails are managed on our end, you can also employ a more risk-free option by putting a limit that e-mails can be sent only if your domains have our MX records.
