Microsoft reworks antispam spec to silence critics

SenderID is dead, long live SPF: "Microsoft has revised its antispam specification Sender ID
following the spec's near-death in the technical community.
"

Nothing near-death about it, the open source community
has moved on.

MS will now support the SPF standard for their products,
kinda had to with the rest of the internet going another
way.

Sad though, how much spam and virii would have been
rejected if we could have simply reject all windows MTA
mail without SPF?

Gee and I read MS powerful patents (eg html control panel
WITHOUT security) were going to destroy us;-); Posted by: Richard Flude Posted on: 10/25/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
