Sender Policy Framework, or SPF, is a verification system, which is designed to stop the so-called e-mail spoofing where an email message can be sent from one e-mail address, but to seem as being sent from a different one, frequently with the purpose to scam the recipient in some way. When SPF protection is enabled for a domain name, a specific record is created for it in the Domain Name System and all the DNS servers worldwide get it. The record features all the email servers that are permitted to send valid messages from an address within the domain. When an e-mail is sent, the very first DNS server it goes to checks the SPF record and when its sending server is permitted, the message is sent to the targeted receiver. If, however, the sending server doesn't exist in the SPF record for the specified domain, the e-mail message won't be submitted and it will be discarded. When you employ this service, it will prevent third parties from sending spam emails that seem to have been sent from you.

SPF Protection in Cloud Web Hosting

The SPF protection function is accessible by default with each and every cloud web hosting plan that we offer and you will be able to use it with ease so that you can protect the emails for each domain name hosted in your account. The service is handled from the Emails section of our revolutionary, and easy to work with Hepsia Control Panel. All it takes to enable the protection is to type in the IP address of the mail 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 created under the domain name that you have selected. Your e-mail addresses can be handled by a different provider, but in case that we manage them in addition to your web site, you can activate the option for e-mails to be sent only when the domain uses our MX records. This option will provide you with better protection as solely our server will be permitted to send out e-mails from your mailboxes and you'll have improved control. When you have any kind of questions or if you experience any sort of troubles with this service, you'll be able to contact our tech support crew at any time and they will help you without delay.

SPF Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes as standard with all our Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans, provides you with an incredibly user-friendly interface to activate the SPF protection service for every domain name that you host within your new account.

In case the emails are handled on our end and not by some other provider, you'll be able to raise the security level even more and benefit from an option for all of the outgoing emails to be sent only if your domain names include our MX records. This option gives you increased control and it will eliminate any possibility of anyone faking your email addresses with the purpose of spamming and scamming people.
