What is SPF and why is it needed?
SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is an email authentication standard designed to prevent sender forgery.

Improved deliverability
A properly configured SPF increases domain reputation and deliverability of legitimate emails
Flexible policies
Different qualifiers allow flexible configuration of email handling policies
Brand reputation protection
Prevents phishing attacks that can damage your company's reputation
Integration with DMARC
SPF is the foundation for DMARC, which provides more comprehensive protection
How does SPF work?
When a mail server receives an email, it checks the sender's domain SPF record. The SPF record contains a list of IP addresses and mechanisms authorized to send emails on behalf of that domain. If the sender's IP address is not found in the SPF record, the email may be rejected or marked as suspicious depending on the configured policies.
