Microsoft's Sender ID to Get Postmaster Push at e-Mail Conference

Elizabeth Montalbano writes on InfoWorld:

Microsoft plans on Wednesday to promote adoption of the Sender ID e-mail specification and introduce a new program for helping ISPs (Internet service providers) protect the integrity of e-mail messages at the E-mail Authentication Summit in Chicago.

Citing research figures from MarkMonitor, Craig Spiezle, director of technology care and safety for Microsoft, said that Sender ID use among Fortune 500 companies has increased from 7 percent in July 2005 to 21 percent. About 32 percent of all e-mail sent is Sender ID compliant, added Spiezle, who plans to speak about the adoption of Sender ID at the summit.

Sender ID was developed by Microsoft, SendMail and other companies as a type of Caller ID system for e-mail messages. The Internet Engineering Task Force is currently working to develop the Sender ID specification, the first draft of which was released in June 2004.
