A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

Email address forgery is a problem on the Internet today. Domain
owners want to control the use of their names in email, but are
helpless because they lack the means. This document introduces a
language for domains to make email-related declarations in DNS. It
defines in detail one possible sender authentication scheme for
domains to describe the hosts from which they send mail. SMTP
receivers can use this scheme to detect sender forgery.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-mengwong-spf-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
