Sender Policy Framework, or SPF, is a verification system, that is intended to prevent the so-called email spoofing where an e-mail message is sent from one e-mail, but to appear as being sent from another one, typically with the idea to fraud the recipient someway. When SPF protection is activated for a domain name, a unique record is generated for it in the Domain Name System and all DNS servers worldwide get it. The record contains all email servers that are allowed to send valid messages from an address under the domain. When an email is sent, the very first DNS server it encounters verifies the SPF record and in case its sending server is authorized, the message is forwarded to the target destination. In case, however, the sending server is not contained in the SPF record for the particular domain, the email message will not be submitted and it'll be discarded. When you employ this solution, it will prevent third parties from sending spam emails which appear to have been sent from you.

SPF Protection in Shared Hosting

The SPF protection function is provided as standard with each shared hosting package that we supply and you're able to use it with ease in order to secure the e-mails for any domain name hosted in your account. The service is operated through the Emails section of the revolutionary, yet easy to work with Hepsia Control Panel. All it takes to activate the protection is to type the IP of the mail server as well as its hostname - mail.server.com, for example. When the protection is active, only this server will be able to send e-mails from e-mails made under the domain name that you have selected. Your e-mail addresses may be handled by some other company, but when we handle them along with your web site, you can enable an option for your e-mails to be sent only when the domain uses our MX records. This selection gives you even better protection as just our server will be permitted to send e-mails from your mailboxes and you'll have better control. When you have any questions or in case you experience any sort of troubles with this service, you will be able to contact our technical support team at any time and they'll assist you right away.

SPF Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host your domains in a semi-dedicated server account with us, you'll be able to employ the SPF protection feature as part of the regular set of services that you will receive with this kind of web hosting. Enabling the protection will require just several easy steps in the Hepsia Control Panel, so even when you haven't employed such a feature before, you will not have any type of problems. Through a very user-friendly interface, you'll just have to type in the information of the mail server that will be permitted to send out messages from your addresses - its hostname (mail.server.com) and IP address (IPv4 or IPv6). The moment the recently created record propagates, nobody will be able to fake any email address for that particular domain and send emails from a server other than the one you've entered. This doesn't necessarily have to be our mail server, but in case we handle your e-mails, you are able to enable an extra level of security by selecting an option that email messages can be send out from addresses @your-domain.com only in the event that the domain uses our MX records. Our tech support crew will be able to assist you 24/7 if you have any kind of questions related to this service.
