Sender Policy Framework, or SPF, is a validation 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 a different, usually with the idea to scam the recipient in some way. If SPF protection is enabled for a domain name, a special record is generated for it in the Domain Name System and all of the DNS servers globally receive it. The record contains all of the e-mail servers that are allowed to send authentic messages from an e-mail address under the domain. When an e-mail is sent, the first DNS server it goes to verifies the SPF record and if the sending server is authorized, the message is sent to the target destination. If, however, the sending server doesn't exist in the SPF record for the particular domain, the e-mail message won't be submitted and it will be removed. Whenever you use this service, it'll stop third parties from sending spam that appear to have been sent from you.

SPF Protection in Web Hosting

The SPF protection option is provided by default with each and every web hosting plan that we supply and you will be able to use it without difficulty to secure the emails for any domain name hosted within your account. The service is controlled from the Emails section of our outstanding, and easy to work with Hepsia Control Panel. All it takes to enable the protection is to type the IP address of the e-mail server plus its hostname - mail.server.com, for instance. Once the protection is active, only this server will be able to send e-mail messages from email addresses made under the domain that you've picked. Your emails may be handled by another company, but in case that we take care of them in addition to your website, you may also activate the option for your messages to be sent only when the domain uses our MX records. This feature will provide you with better protection as just our server will be permitted to send email messages from your mailboxes and you will have better control.
