Microsoft tweaks Sender ID license for open source
InternetNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft is giving administrators a peek at its new Sender ID license agreement, which is an update to the company's Caller ID for E-Mail technology proposed in February. The license is an update to an e-mail authentication specification designed to reduce the number of spoofed e-mails used by many spammers today.
Currently, the technology is under discussion at the MTA Authorization Records in DNS (MARID) working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as a possible Internet standard. According to the group's charter, the specification is scheduled to be submitted as a proposed standard by the end of the month.
