An SPF (sender policy framework) record is used to combat spam. Usually set up as a TXT record, the data within the SPF record will control which IP addresses and servers are allowed to send email from your domain. This is a popular method of combatting spam, preventing spammers from sending emails which look as though are coming from you.
