Have you ever received an e-mail that supposedly came from you but was not sent by you or your company? For example; you have an e-mail account called Sales@MyCompany.com and one day you receive an e-mail from Sales@MyCompany.com. You didn't send this e-mail, it's spam, it could be an ad for herbal medicine or a get-rich quick scheme.
No big deal, just delete it right?
Well not really, actually it is a big deal. Think about it, that spammer is sending his electronic trash, (with your companies name on it) to potentially thousands of other e-mail addresses!
This can damage your companies reputation.
Fortunately, there is a solution.
SPF = Sender Policy Framework
Setting up SPF is free. If you don't have one set up one today Read More"SPF fights return-path address forgery and makes it easier to identify spoofs.
Domain owners identify sending mail servers in DNS. SMTP receivers verify the envelope sender address against this information, and can distinguish authentic messages from forgeries before any message data is transmitted."
