Sender Policy Framework, or SPF, is a verification system, which is used to prevent the so-called e-mail spoofing where an email message can be sent from one e-mail address, but to seem as being sent from another, typically with the purpose to fraud the recipient in some way. If SPF protection is enabled for a domain, a special record is created for it in the Domain Name System and all the DNS servers worldwide have it. The record features all of the e-mail servers that are allowed to send legitimate messages from an email address within the domain. When an email is sent, the first DNS server it goes to checks the SPF record and in case the sending server is authorized, the message is sent to the target destination. When, however, the sending server is not present in the SPF record for the given domain, the e-mail message won't be submitted and it'll be removed. When you use this solution, it will stop third parties from sending spam e-mails which seem to have been sent by you.
