=== About the ''SPF Project''

The ''SPF Project'' was founded in 2003 by ''[[http://www.mengwong.com|Meng Weng Wong]]'' and other dedicated internet technologists to act against the increasing levels of e-mail sender address forgery by spammers, imposters, and computer viruses.

The project has developed the sender authentication technology called ''Sender Policy Framework'', which aims to fix various ambiguities in the standards underlying the e-mail system that have essentially remained unchanged since their inception in 1982.  ''SPF'' allows domain owners to define who may and may not send mail using their domain names.
