What are SPF records?

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records are DNS records that identify the email servers which are permitted to use the particular domain name. This further helps in identifying the spam emails which could be sent by spoofing a valid domain name or an email address.
At the receiving end, the domain's published SPF records and the IP address from which the email is received are checked and the email is validated. Learn more.
