SPF, which is an abbreviation for Sender Policy Framework, is an authentication system that is aimed at preventing the so-called e-mail forging. In simple terms, this means sending a message from one e-mail and making it look like it’s sent from a different one with the idea to scam in some manner the person receiving it. In the event that the SPF protection is activated for a domain name, a record which includes all of the mail servers authorized to email messages with addresses within the domain is created. The record is placed on all the DNS servers that route the web traffic worldwide, therefore they all will recognize whether an email message comes from a trustworthy server or not. The verification is conducted at the first server where the email goes through and in the first case the message is forwarded, whereas in the second it's removed and it never gets to the intended recipient. Applying SPF records for your domain names will prevent all unwanted people from making use of your emails for malicious objectives.
