When the SPF protection is activated for a domain, a record which contains all mail servers authorized to email messages with addresses part of the domain is created. The record is saved on all DNS servers that direct the Internet traffic around the world, thus they all will recognize whether an e-mail message originates from a trustworthy server or not.
