Subject: SPF - anti-spam and phishing standard evolving: Canada
recommendation
From a Canadian governmental working party.
SPF1 is what to apply, and more detail is at www.pobox.com/spf
It would be good if everyone asked heir ISP and other network providers to
follow suit on this.
"Recommended Best Practices for Internet Service Providers
and Other Network Operators

|Recommendation #1
|All Canadian registrants and hosts of domain names should
|publish Sender Policy Framework (SPF) information within
|their respective Domain Name Server (DNS) zone files as
|soon as possible.
|
|The purpose of email sender authentication is to reduce
|domain name spoofing in email thereby reducing the
|incidents of spamming and phishing attempts."
