Title: Sender ID: Authenticating E-Mail

Internet mail suffers from the fact that much unwanted mail is sent using
spoofed addresses -- 'spoofed' in this case means the address is used
without the permission of the domain owner. This document describes the
following: mechanisms by which a domain owner can publish its set of
outgoing MTAs, mechanisms by which SMTP servers can determine what email
address is allegedly responsible for most proximately introducing a message
into the Internet mail system, and whether that introduction is authorized
by the owner of the domain contained in that email address. The
specification is carefully tailored to ensure that the overwhelming
majority of legitimate emailers, remailers and mailing list operators are
already compliant.
