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 .
A sender can apply for a reference at a vouching authority. The reference, if accepted, is published on the DNS branch managed by that authority.

It allows the administrative owner of a domain to publish a policy in their DNS records to specify how to check the From: field presented to end users and how the receiver should deal with failures, and it provides a ...
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.
Sender Policy Framework (SPF), as defined in RFC 4408, is an e-mail validation system designed to prevent e-mail spam by addressing a common vulnerability, source address spoofing. I believe that the introduction sentence is a bit misleading as it says that it's "designed to prevent e-mail spam".
