Email Security - SPF Records – Olafe

SPF - Sender Policy Framework - is a technology used to validate that emails for an internet domain come from a system approved for sending emails on behalf of the domain. It is one of the email security components that should be used to minimize email-based fraud and junk email usage on the internet.

If Olafe does not manage your DNS on your behalf, your IT support personnel can use this guide to configure your SPF.
