DESCRIPTION

Mail::SPF is an object-oriented implementation of Sender Policy Framework (SPF). See <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7208> for more information about SPF.

This class collection aims to fully conform to the SPF specification (RFC 4408) so as to serve both as a production quality SPF implementation and as a reference for other developers of SPF implementations.
