Sender Policy Framework, or SPF, is a verification system, which is designed to stop the so-called email spoofing where an e-mail message is sent from one address, but to seem as being sent from another, ordinarily with the idea to fraud the recipient for some reason. When SPF protection is enabled for a domain name, a specific record is generated for it in the Domain Name System and all DNS servers globally receive it. The record includes all mail servers that are permitted to send authentic messages from an e-mail address part of the domain. When an e-mail is sent, the first DNS server it goes to checks the SPF record and in case its sending server is authorized, the message is forwarded to the targeted receiver. In case, however, the sending server is not contained in the SPF record for the particular domain, the message won't be submitted and it'll be removed. If you employ this solution, it will stop third parties from sending spam e-mails that look as if they have been sent from you.

SPF Protection in Cloud Web Hosting

The SPF protection option is accessible by default with each and every cloud web hosting package that we offer and you will be able to use it with ease in order to secure the e-mail addresses for each domain hosted in your account. The service is managed through the Emails section of our hi-tech, and easy to work with Hepsia Control Panel. What is needed to enable the protection is to type the IP address of the mail server plus its hostname - mail.server.com, for instance. As soon as the protection is activated, only this server will be able to send out e-mail messages from emails generated under the domain that you have selected. Your emails may be handled by another supplier, but if we handle them together with your web site, you may also enable an option for email messages to be sent only if the domain features our MX records. This selection gives you greater protection as solely our server will be approved to send messages from your mailboxes and you will have superior control. If you have any questions or in case you have any issues with this particular service, you can contact our technical support crew at any time and they will help you immediately.
