Sender Policy Framework, or SPF, is a verification system, that is used to prevent the so-called email spoofing where an e-mail message can be sent from one e-mail address, but to seem as being sent from another one, often with the idea to scam the recipient someway. If SPF protection is enabled for a domain, a specific record is made for it in the Domain Name System and all the DNS servers around the world get it. The record contains all e-mail servers that are permitted to send authentic messages from an address part of the domain. When an email is sent, the very first DNS server it goes to checks the SPF record and when the sending server is permitted, the message is sent to the targeted receiver. When, however, the sending server is not included in the SPF record for the specified domain, the email message won't be forwarded and it will be removed. When you use this service, it'll prevent third parties from sending spam which look as if they have been sent by you.

SPF Protection in Cloud Web Hosting

You can activate the SPF protection option for your domain names with only a couple of clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included in all of our cloud web hosting. This carried out via the section with an identical name and you can set up the protection for any domain on our outstanding cloud hosting platform. Using a really handy interface, all you'll need to type in is the hostname of the mail server that will be approved to send out messages from your e-mail addresses and its IPv4 or IPv6 address. Of course, you're able to include several servers as well, when needed. If your e-mails are handled on our end, you can also employ an even more secure option by putting a restriction that messages can be sent only if your domains include our MX records. This option can't be used when your web site is hosted with us, and your email addresses are with a third-party service provider. Either way, the SPF protection option can really increase your online security and stop other people from spoofing your e-mail addresses.
