Explanation:
Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is an e-mail validation system designed to prevent e-mail spam by
tackling source address spoofing. SPF allows administrators to specify which hosts are allowed to
send e-mail from a given domain by creating a specific SPF record (or TXT record) in the public
Domain Name System (DNS). Mail exchangers then use the DNS to check whether that mail from the
given domain is being sent by a host sanctioned by that domain’s administrators.
