SPF, which abbreviates Sender Policy Framework, is an authentication system that is aimed at blocking the so-called email faking. Essentially, this means sending some message from one e-mail and making it look like it’s sent from another with the purpose to scam in some way the individual getting it. In case the SPF protection is running for a domain name, a record that includes all the mail servers authorized to send messages with addresses in the domain is generated. The record is kept on all the DNS servers that direct the web traffic globally, so they all will identify whether an email message comes from a legitimate server or not. The verification is done at the very first server where the email goes through and in the first case the e-mail message is forwarded, whereas in the second it is removed and it never reaches the supposed recipient. Employing SPF records for your domains will prevent all unwanted people from using your emails for malicious purposes.

SPF Protection in Hosting

The SPF protection feature is provided as standard with each hosting package that we supply and you are able to use it without any difficulty to secure the email addresses for any domain hosted in your account. The service is operated from the Emails section of our outstanding, and easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel. All it takes to enable the protection is to type in the IP of the email server and its hostname - mail.server.com, for example. As soon as the protection is activated, only this server will be able to send out emails from email addresses generated under the domain that you have selected. Your emails may be handled by a different supplier, but when we manage them along with your web site, you may also activate the option for messages to be sent only if the domain has our MX records. This feature gives you better security as exclusively our server will be permitted to send out e-mail messages from your mailboxes and you will have superior control. When you have any questions or if you have any sort of troubles with this service, you'll be able to contact our tech support team at any time and they'll assist you right away.

SPF Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes as standard with all of our semi-dedicated plans, will provide you with an incredibly easy-to-use interface to enable the SPF protection service for each domain name that you host in your new account.

When the email messages are handled by us and not by a different provider, you're able to raise the security level even further and benefit from an option for your outgoing email messages to be sent only if your domains include our MX records. This option provides you with better control and it will eliminate any chance of somebody counterfeiting your e-mail addresses with the objective of spamming and scamming people. It's not applicable if only your web site is on our outstanding cloud hosting platform, while your emails are managed by another provider.
