- Reverse MX (RMX) [r]: Email authentication method that became a basis of SPF and Sender ID. [e]
- Designated Mailers Protocol (DMP) [r]: Email authentication method that became a basis of SPF and Sender ID. [e]
- Certified Server Validation (CSV) [r]: Email authentication method that verifies the hostname of an SMTP transmitter against that transmitter's IP address. [e])
