SPF Protection

Discover just what SPF protection is and also how it might protect your email.

Sender Policy Framework, or SPF, is a verification system, that is used to stop the so-called email spoofing where an email message can be sent from one email address, but to look as being sent from a different one, frequently with the purpose to fraud the recipient someway. When SPF protection is enabled for a domain, a specific record is created for it in the Domain Name System and all DNS servers worldwide have it. The record contains all of the mail servers that are allowed to send authentic messages from an e-mail address under the domain. When an e-mail is sent, the first DNS server it encounters verifies the SPF record and in case the sending server is authorized, the message is sent to the target destination. In case, however, the sending server is not contained in the SPF record for the specified domain, the message will not be submitted and it'll be removed. In the event that you employ this solution, it'll prevent third parties from sending spam e-mails that appear to have been sent from you.

SPF Protection in Shared Web Hosting

You are able to enable the SPF protection service for your domains with only a few clicks inside the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with our shared web hosting. This carried out from the section bearing the very same name and you'll be able to allow the protection for each domain on our innovative cloud platform. Using a very intuitive 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 emails and its IPv4 or IPv6 address. Last, but not least, you're able to add several servers too, if needed. If your emails are managed by us, you may also employ a more risk-free option by setting a restriction that e-mails can be sent only when your domains feature our MX records. This alternative cannot be used in case your website is hosted here, while the e-mails are with a third-party supplier. Either way, the SPF protection solution can definitely enhance your web safety and stop others from counterfeiting your email addresses.
