DESCRIPTION

       Mail::SPF is an object-oriented implementation of Sender Policy Framework (SPF).  See <http://www.openspf.org> 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.
