SPF has been adopted by leading organisations including Google, AOL, and Microsoft Hotmail as Sender ID.

Commenting on the appointment, Manish Goel, Co-Founder and CEO of BoxSentry said, “Wong has been a pioneer in shaping the email security industry as we know it today. Fraudsters and spammers have severely damaged the trust that businesses and consumers put in online communications. Meng is a highly recognized expert in the industry committed to the restoration of online trust.  His contribution to the industry has already been pervasive. We are also delighted to have given him a reason to return to Asia where he will be building the next generation of online trust solutions, this time with a focus on the issues affecting the high growth markets in Asia Pacific.”
