Email on the Internet can be forged in a number of ways. In
particular, existing protocols place no restriction on what a sending
host can use as the "MAIL FROM" of a message or the domain given on
the SMTP HELO/EHLO commands. This document describes version 1 of
the Sender Policy Framework (SPF) protocol, whereby ADministrative
Management Domains (ADMDs) can explicitly authorize the hosts that
are allowed to use their domain names, and a receiving host can check
such authorization.
This document obsoletes RFC 4408.
This document is a product of the SPF Update Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
