Fwd: Last Call: <draft-ietf-spfbis-4408bis-19.txt> (Sender Policy Framework (SPF) for Authorizing Use of Domains in Email, Version 1) to Proposed Standard

If you are interested in SPF getting to the proposed standard stage in the 
IETF (i.e. no longer an experimental protocol) and you aren't already 
subscribed, you might want to subscribe to the IETF main list to participate 
in the last call discussions.

If you aren't familiar with how IETF last calls usually work, it's probably 
prudent to peruse the list archives a bit before jumping in.

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the

Abstract


   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 its domain names, and a receiving host can check
   such authorization.

   This document obsoletes RFC4408.
