SPF, which is an abbreviation for Sender Policy Framework, is an authentication system that is aimed at preventing the so-called email faking. Basically, this indicates sending some message from one email address and making it appear to be sent from a different one with the purpose to scam in some way the individual getting it. In the event that the SPF protection is activated for a domain, a record which has all of the mail servers authorized to send messages with addresses in the domain is generated. The record is saved on all the DNS servers that direct the web traffic worldwide, so they all will identify if an e-mail message comes from a trustworthy server or not. The verification is performed at the very first server where the e-mail goes through and in the first case the message is forwarded, but in the second one it is removed and it never reaches its intended recipient. Employing SPF records for your domains will stop any unauthorized people from making use of your email addresses for harmful objectives.

SPF Protection in Shared Hosting

The SPF protection feature is available by default with each and every shared hosting plan that we supply and you'll be able to use it without any difficulty to protect the e-mail addresses for any domain name hosted within your account. The service is controlled through the Emails section of our innovative, and easy to work with Hepsia Control Panel. All you need to enable the protection is to type the IP address of the email server and its hostname - mail.server.com, for example. The moment the protection is activated, only this server will be able to send email messages from emails generated under the domain that you've selected. Your emails can be managed by another supplier, but if we handle them together with your website, you may also activate an option for e-mails to be sent only if the domain features our MX records. This selection gives you even better protection as just our server will be permitted to send out emails from your mailboxes and you'll have superior control. When you have any kind of questions or in case you experience any issues with this particular service, you will be able to contact our technical support team anytime and they will help you immediately.
