Re: Micorsoft's Sender ID Authentication......?
- From: Anne P. Mitchell, Esq.
- Date: Wed Jun 08 13:11:25 2005
Wasn't there a lot of turmoil within the IETF last year
on sender authentication because Microsoft was trying to
push it's own sender ID authetication mechasnisms as a
draft standard?
In part the problem was 'legal' (versus technical)...the folks involved
in the working list from MS...technical people, offered ongoing
reassurance that the as-yet-unpublished patent apps were benign, that
it would always be available free, etc. etc... but once the patent apps
were published, they were far over-reaching, included SPF aspects,
etc.. (I have _zero_ doubt that the legal/corporate folks upstairs at
MS were responsible for that, and that the good folks from MS on the
working list were as surprised as were the rest of us).
