SPF Protection

Find out more about SPF (SenderPolicy Framework) - how you can enable it and how it will help you protect your mailboxes.

SPF, which abbreviates Sender Policy Framework, is a validation system that aims at preventing the so-called email counterfeiting. Basically, this means sending some message from one e-mail and making it appear to be sent from another one with the purpose to scam in some manner the person opening it. In case the SPF protection is active for a domain name, a record that includes all of the mail servers authorized to send messages with addresses in the domain is created. The record is stored on all of the DNS servers that direct the Internet traffic worldwide, thus they all can recognize if an email message originates from a legitimate server or not. The verification is conducted at the first server where the email goes through and in the first case the message is forwarded, while in the second it's discarded and it never reaches its intended recipient. Applying SPF records for your domain names will stop any unwanted people from using your email addresses for harmful purposes.

The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, that comes with our Linux semi-dedicated packages, will provide you with a very easy-to-use interface to activate the SPF protection service for each domain name that you host in your new account. A few clicks in the Emails section of Hepsia will be enough for that and you'll only have to enter the hostname and the IP address of the mail server that will be permitted to send messages from your e-mails. When the emails are handled by us and not by a different provider, you are able to boost the security level even more and enable an option for all the outgoing e-mail messages to be sent only if your domains feature our MX records. This option gives you increased control and it will eliminate any chance of anyone counterfeiting your e-mails with the purpose of spamming and / or scamming people.
