SPF, which is an abbreviation for Sender Policy Framework, is an authentication system that is aimed at blocking the so-called e-mail counterfeiting. In simple terms, it indicates sending some message from one e-mail and making it seem to be sent from another one with the idea to scam in some way the person getting it. In case the SPF protection is running for a domain, a record which contains all mail servers authorized to email messages with addresses under the domain is made. The record is stored on all of the DNS servers that direct the Internet traffic internationally, thus they all will identify if an e-mail message originates from a valid server or not. The check is done at the very first server where the email goes through and in the first case the message is forwarded, but in the second it's discarded and it never reaches its intended recipient. Using SPF records for your domain names will prevent all unwanted people from making use of your emails for harmful objectives.
