Sender Policy Framework, or SPF, is a verification system, that is employed to stop the so-called e-mail spoofing where an e-mail message is sent from one email, but to look as being sent from a different, usually with the purpose to fraud the recipient someway. If SPF protection is activated for a domain, a special record is made for it in the Domain Name System and all of the DNS servers worldwide receive it. The record features all the mail servers that are allowed to send authentic messages from an e-mail address within the domain. When an email is sent, the very first DNS server it encounters checks the SPF record and in case the sending server is permitted, the message is forwarded to the target receiver. If, however, the sending server is not included in the SPF record for the particular domain, the message will not be submitted and it'll be removed. If you use this service, it will stop third parties from sending spam emails which appear to have been sent by you.
SPF Protection in Shared Website Hosting
You can enable the SPF protection service for your domain names with a few clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all our shared website hosting. This is performed through the section with the same name and you are able to allow the protection for each and every domain name hosted on our exceptional cloud hosting platform. Using a really handy interface, all you'll have to submit is the hostname of the mail server that will be accredited to send out messages from your e-mail addresses and its IPv4 or IPv6 address. Last, but not least, it is possible to add several servers as well, when needed. When your e-mails are managed on our end, you may also take advantage of a more secure option by putting a limit that e-mails can be sent only if your domain names have our MX records. This alternative cannot be used if your site is hosted here, while your emails are with some third-party supplier. In either case, the SPF protection solution will definitely enhance your web protection and prevent other people from spoofing your email addresses.
