Zocalo writes "The MARID working group at the IETF responsible for
deciding on which extensions to SMTP will be used to try and prevent
spoofing of the sender has made their decision. At issue was whether
Microsoft's patent encumbered Sender-ID would be eligable for inclusion
in an Internet standard. An initial analysis of the text of their
decision, available here with a brief analysis, would suggest not.
Unless Microsoft is going to make any dramatic concessions out of
desperation, that pretty much clears the way for Meng Wong's Classic
SPF to become the standard and hopefully make Joe-Jobs at thing of the
past."
