November 27, 2006 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider WebsiteDirect.biz (websitedirect.biz) announced on Monday it has equipped its hosting control panel with sender policy framework, designed to give customers more control over their domain's email sender policies.
An extension of SMTP, SPF carries an authenticating mechanism that specifies which computers are authorized to send email from a specific domain.
Domains sending emails must establish an SPF record that is published in the DNS record. WebsiteDirect.biz says if the domain is unauthorized, the DNS server will not forward the email.
Based in Mechanicsville, Virginia, WebsiteDirect.biz is a Web hosting provider that specializes in serving small businesses.
