The summer conference season is beginning to come together.
Some conferences with an antispam angle are listed at
http://www.taugh.com/weblog
I have been invited to present SPF at a few of them. Details are below.
Also, if the SPF project leaders would be interested in getting together
in Washington DC on April 16, the ISPCON hosts have offered us a room
where we can kibitz --- or if we want to be a bit more formal we can do
a custom tutorial, etc session.
If you guys want to get together, that would be the perfect place to do it.

| Abuse of email networks by spam and other forms of malware is a growing
| problem for ISP's and their customers. In this evening exchange, Meng
| Wong, Omar Tellez and other potential guests will outline steps that
| service providers can take to implement mechanisms, including SPF, in
| their email systems to reassert control over use and abuse of their
| email systems which translate into incremental value for their email
| users and customers. This exchange is appropriate for business and
| technical level ISP staff.
