SPF Protection

Take a look at just what SPF protection is and just how it is able to secure your email address.

SPF, which is an abbreviation for Sender Policy Framework, is a certification system that is aimed at preventing the so-called e-mail forging. Essentially, this means sending a message from one e-mail and making it appear to be sent from a different one with the objective to scam in some manner the individual receiving it. In the event that the SPF protection is activated for a domain, a record that includes all mail servers authorized to email messages with addresses within the domain is generated. The record is stored on all DNS servers that route the web traffic worldwide, therefore they all will recognize if an e-mail message comes from a trustworthy server or not. The check is done at the very first server where the email goes through and in the first case the email message is forwarded, whereas in the second one it's discarded and it never gets to its intended recipient. Applying SPF records for your domain names will prevent any unauthorized people from using your emails for malicious purposes.
