Also, 1990s? Weren't first SPF-alike ideas drafted first time in
early-mid 2000s, and SPF itself not published as *proposed* IETF
standard until 2014?
That was less than a decade ago, barely yesterday :)
No, SPF pre dates that, 1998 or there abouts if my ageing memory
serves me
It's failing... :)
SPF originated with an idea of Gordon Fecyk, first written up AFTER he
left MAPS in 2001. First ID calling it SPF would have been 2003 or so.
Paul Vixie and I had both posted about how a 'reverse MX' or 'Mail
Sender' record in DNS might work prior to that (and Paul credited
someone else with the original idea) but those were not fully-developed
mechanisms that anyone could actually deploy.
