SPF (Sender Policy Framework ) is a standard for reliable authentication of the sender of an e-mail domain name.
This standard is used on a large scale.
Currently of many services such as AOL, Gmail and MSN mails /Hotmail uses this method to filter the SPAM.

There is also a tool to test the compliance of mails : http://www.mail-tester.com/
Here are a few types of SPF records :
v=SPF 1 +MX -all
Allows all MX domain to send mails and refuses all others.
v=SPF 1 -all
The domain sends no mail.
v=SPF 1 +all
No filter is applied, everything can pass.
