SPF, which abbreviates Sender Policy Framework, is a certification system that is aimed at protecting against the so-called e-mail faking. Essentially, this indicates sending some message from one e-mail address and making it seem to be sent from another with the purpose to scam in some way the individual getting it. In case the SPF protection is activated for a domain, a record that contains all mail servers authorized to email messages with addresses part of the domain is generated. The record is placed on all of the DNS servers that route the Internet traffic internationally, so that they all can identify whether an email message originates 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 e-mail message is forwarded, and in the second it's removed and it never reaches the intended recipient. Using SPF records for your domain names will stop any unauthorized people from using your emails for malicious objectives.
