SearchExchange: SenderID not DOA, standards body says
September 16 2004
Nathaniel Borenstein, a distinguished scientist at IBM, is one of those who said he believes that "cooler heads will prevail" and a consensus can be reached. "The issues are not as big as feared between [Microsoft and the open source parties]," he said.Link: SearchExchange: SenderID not DOA, standards body says >
IBM signed on as a supporter of Sender ID, but like all Sender ID proponents, such as Symantec Corp. and Sendmail Inc., they endorsed the proposed standard when it was expected to include one authentication method, not two. Borenstein remains optimistic that the members of the IETF working group will work out their differences.
"IBM recognizes the interest and concerns of both Microsoft and the open source community," he said. "Both have valid concerns, but it is still possible to satisfy the needs of both communities, and we are continuing to work toward that."

The main problem on Sender ID technology is that people associates it to Microsoft. And they see on this technology a way to imposse a control on the Mail. I have some quotes from articles about the subjet on { Link } . They are pretty interesting.. SPF,on the othe way, is gaining popularity on the Internet community.... interesting battle of standars againts spams!
