SPF, which is an abbreviation for Sender Policy Framework, is a verification system that aims at stopping the so-called e-mail forging. Essentially, it indicates sending a message from one email address and making it look like it’s sent from another one with the purpose to scam in some way the person getting it. If the SPF protection is active for a domain, a record which includes all of the mail servers authorized to email messages with addresses under the domain is created. The record is stored on all the DNS servers that route the web traffic worldwide, so they all can recognize whether an email message comes from an authentic server or not. The verification is conducted at the very first server where the e-mail goes through and in the first case the email message is forwarded, while in the second it's removed and it never reaches the intended recipient. Using SPF records for your domains will prevent all unwanted people from making use of your emails for malicious purposes.

SPF Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

The SPF protection feature comes with all Linux semi-dedicated servers, so if you host your domain names in an account on our cloud website hosting platform, you'll be able to activate the service effortlessly for all your domains. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with the semi-dedicated accounts, has a rather easy to work with interface, which means that you do not have to be tech-savvy to secure your e-mails. You'll only have to type the hostname and the IP address of each mail server that you'd like to be certified to send emails from your addresses and shortly after that the new record will be active for the domain name that you have chosen. As an extra option, we'll also give you the ability to limit your outgoing e-mail messages and secure your mailboxes even further by permitting email messages to be sent only if the domain in question contains our MX records i.e. the emails for the domain name should be handled here and not by a different supplier. By doing so you will have even better control and there will not be any chances for somebody to counterfeit your e-mail addresses for harmful uses.
