Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is an email authentication method that ensures the sending mail server is authorized to originate mail from the email sender's domain. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This authentication only applies to the email sender listed in the "envelope from" field during the initial SMTP connection.
The Sender Rewriting Scheme (SRS) is a scheme for bypassing the Sender Policy Framework's (SPF) methods of preventing forged sender addresses. Forging a sender address is also known as email spoofing .
In the early 1980s, when Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) was designed, it provided for no real verification of sending user or system. This was not a problem while email systems were run by trusted corporations and universities, but since the commercialization of the Internet in the early 1990s, spam, phishing, and other crimes have been found to increasingly involve email.
Sender ID is an historic [1] anti-spoofing proposal from the former MARID IETF working group that tried to join Sender Policy Framework (SPF) and Caller ID. Sender ID is defined primarily in Experimental RFC 4406, [ 2 ] but there are additional parts in RFC 4405, [ 3 ] RFC 4407 [ 4 ] and RFC 4408.
Note that MTA-STS records apply only to SMTP traffic between mail servers while communications between a user's client and the mail server are protected by Transport Layer Security with SMTP/MSA, IMAP, POP3, or HTTPS in combination with an organizational or technical policy. Essentially, MTA-STS is a means to extend such a policy to third parties.
When this happens, it's very important to mark the email as spam, then our system will learn that messages from a specific sender aren't good and helps us make AOL Mail even better at recognizing future spam emails. Additionally, it will automatically ensure that future emails by the same sender are routed to the spam folder.
