Understanding SPF records
Introduction in SPF records, Sender Address Forgery
Today, nearly all abusive e-mail messages carry fake sender addresses. The victims whose addresses are being abused often suffer from the consequences, because their reputation gets diminished and they have to disclaim liability for the abuse, or waste their time sorting out misdirected bounce messages.
Sender address forgery is a threat to users and companies alike, and it even undermines the Exchange 2010 e-mail medium as a whole because it erodes people's confidence in its reliability.

Understand SPF record
The Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is an open standard specifying a technical method to prevent sender address forgery.
We recommend that you create a Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record for your domain. An SPF record is a type of Domain Name Service (DNS) record that identifies which mail servers are permitted to send email on behalf of your domain.
If your domain does not have an SPF record, some recipient domains may reject messages from you or your employees because they cannot validate that the messages come from an authorized mail server.

Defining Sender Policy Framework record
- Log in to the administrative console for your domain.
- Locate the page from which you can update the DNS records.
- Create a TXT record containing to following text:
v=spf1 a mx ptr ip4:111.111.111.111 -all
where 111.111.111.111 is the IP address (the version of IP is 4) of your Exchange 2010 server
