Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is an open standard to prevent
sender address forgery. An SPF record is a type of Domain Name Service (DNS) record
that identifies which mail servers are permitted to send email messages on behalf
of
your domain. The purpose of an SPF record is to prevent spammers from sending
messages with forged addresses at your domain.
