In the long run, once the domain of the sender is authenticated, it will be possible to use that domain as part of a mechanism to determine the likelihood that a given message is spam, using, for example, reputation and accreditation services.

 - Ironport, others support Sender ID - Internet Business News
Sender ID is a technology standard that closes loopholes in the current system for sending and receiving e-mail that allow senders -- including spammers -- to fake, or "spoof," a message's origin.
Sender ID is fast becoming the de facto e-mail authentication standard, as Microsoft rallies support from e-mail providers, Internet service providers and e-mail software vendors.
In addition to retrieving a Sender ID validation from the DNS record of the sending domain, recipients will be able to query the Cloudmark service to retrieve a reputation score for the sender, the company said.

 Sender ID, The Hottest Thing on The Email Technology Market - Softpedia
The benefits of Microsoft's Sender ID initiative, which Popov said is intended to stop phishing and other fraudulent email practices, more so than spam, will outweigh the short-term extra work emailers will have to do to meet the new authentication standard, he added.
The Sender ID Framework is an email authentication technology protocol that helps address the problem of spoofing and phishing by verifying the domain name from which an email is sent.
Sender ID validates the origin of email by confirming the IP address of the sender against the purported owner of the sending domain.

 [No title]
The previous incarnation of SenderID, a combination of Microsoft's "Caller ID for E-Mail" and Meng Wong's Sender Policy Framework (SPF), was shot down due to concerns about the scope of Microsoft patents as well as the licensing terms which were judged to be incompatible with open source.
Sender ID will also give ISPs the option of using SPF or Purported Responsible Address (PRA) to verify that the e-mail originated where it claims it did.
It remains to be seen whether the changes Microsoft has made to Sender ID will be far-reaching enough to gain the support of IETF, not to mention the various open source groups which had opposed its previous incarnation.

"Sender ID does not explicitly prevent spam or phishing scams from being sent, but it does make them much easier to detect because it provides a more reliable answer to the question about who sent the message," Spiezle said in a written statement from Microsoft.
Sender ID will help reduce the number of phishing attacks, according to proponents of the proposed security standard.

Besides the IETF, which reportedly is close to adopting Sender ID as the industry standard, several large ISPs are implementing it, including Microsoft for inbound e-mails to its hotmail.com, msn.com and microsoft.com domains.
Sender ID and other spam filters cannot stop the flow of spam, but they can help domain holders prevent having their name forged by spammers.
Whatever the outcome of the Sender ID discussion, experts in both camps can agree on one point: No matter what progress is made in spam-filtering technology, the real tragedy is that spam is here to stay.

 Sender ID's fading message: ZDNet Australia: News: Software
Basically, Sender ID checks whether an e-mail that claims to come from a certain Internet domain (such as "customerservice@anybank.com") really originates from the e-mail servers associated with that domain ("anybank.com").
If adopted widely, an e-mail authentication technology like Sender ID could help people make sure that a message that claims to be from their bank actually was sent by the bank.
For Sender ID to get picked up more widely, the technology needs to become easier to adopt and provide a clear benefit to users, analysts and experts said.

 SPF and/or Sender ID
Sender verification strategies attempt to address what is now seen as a core problem in Internet e-mail: it is quite simple to construct a message that appears to be from someone else, yet fairly difficult to reliably detect such forgeries.
SPF and Sender ID propose to solve this by providing a method whereby the owner of a domain name, such as example.com or our own maawg.org, can indicate which computers are allowed to send any e-mail messages that purport to be from that domain name.
Because both SPF and Sender ID compare a domain with the most-recent source IP address of a message, anyone who re-sends a message must in effect take responsibility for that message as if it had originated within their own network.

 Netcraft: Apache Rejects Sender ID Proposal
The Apache Project has rejected the Sender ID proposal for e-mail user authentication, saying the terms of Microsoft's license for the underlying technology makes it incompatible with open source software.
Sender ID was formed June 24 when Microsoft and POBox co-founder Meng Weng Wong announced they had merged competing spam-fighting proposals into one specification.
Microsoft's Caller ID for Email and the Sender Policy Framework (SPF) developed by Wong had been two of the leading proposals for fighting spam by verifying the address of an e-mail sender.

"Sender ID's success is contingent on broad industry participation and we need strong tools in place within the industry to help build this kind of authentication into the technology infrastructure," said Ryan Hamlin, general manager of Microsoft's safety technology and strategy team, in a statement.
Sender ID is a system meant to allow e-mail recipients to verify that messages actually come from the domain they purport to be from.

The addition of Sender ID to Exchange 2003 SP2 will be the first time Microsoft's mail server includes an authentication technology, although Microsoft has been pushing the scheme for more than a year.
Sender ID, like other authentication protocols, verifies the sending IP address against the purported owner of that domain.
In Exchange 2003 SP2, the Sender ID check will be used as another input to the software's Intelligent Message Filter, an anti-spam filtering feature that Exchange has offered to all customers since SP1 debuted just over a year ago.

 Sender ID: Phishing Solution or Another Problem?
Unfortunately, the effectiveness of checking email sources against whitelists and fllists also is predicated upon the reliability of the sender's claims about their originating IP address, on whose behalf they're relaying a message, and other points of data that are not at all guaranteed to be truthful.
Sender ID is the brainchild of Meng Weng Wong, CTO of Philadelphia-based Pobox.com.
There also are some deeper and more dangerous flaws in Sender ID. Some experts have questioned whether, given the notoriously flimsy DNS infrastructures of many major organizations, a simple breakage, or even a denial-of-service attack, could hopelessly cripple email delivery for an entire domain.

 InformationWeek | E-Mail Authentication | Spammers Hijack Sender ID | September 9, 2004   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Sep 9, 2004 06:53 PM On the heels of the repudiation of Microsoft's Sender ID E-mail-authentication scheme last week by two major open-source software groups, spammers are doing the opposite: They're embracing the very standard intended to curb their abuses.
But since spamming is legal, those spammers not engaged in phishing or other fraud may choose to accurately identify their mail servers to avoid filtering based on Sender ID compliance.
Sender ID's sudden popularity with spammers stands in contrast to its disrepute among some open-source organizations.

Sender Policy Framework is a simple principle that's been promoted for many months by Meng Wong, the CTO of the Pobox.com e-mail service.
Unlike Sender ID, which Libbey says has tricky implementation issues for messages that are forwarded from one server to another, Domain Keys doesn't interfere with forwarding at all.
Microsoft's Sender ID proposal hasn't been dealt a death blow, but it's at least limping from the highly public Sept. 11 vote against it by a working group of the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) standards body.

 Define Sender ID - a Whatis.com definition
Sender ID is Microsoft's proposed e-mail sender authentication protocol designed to protect against domain spoofing and phishing exploits.
The Sender ID Framework, as Microsoft calls it, comprises three separate specifications: Sender Policy Framework (SPF), Caller ID for e-mail, and Submitter Optimization.
If the record matches, the e-mail is authenticated and delivered to the recipient; otherwise, the message is either discarded or returned to the sender as bounce e-mail.

 ASF Position Regarding Sender ID - The Apache Software Foundation
The current Microsoft Royalty-Free Sender ID Patent License Agreement terms are a barrier to any ASF project which wants to implement Sender ID. We believe the current license is generally incompatible with open source, contrary to the practice of open Internet standards, and specifically incompatible with the Apache License 2.0.
The requirement that Microsoft Sender ID patent licenses be formally executed (e.g., S6.10) is incompatible with the way the open source development and distribution process actually works.
We will not be implementing support for Sender ID until such time as the issues with the license are fixed and acceptable to the Apache James and Apache SpamAssassin Project Management Committees.

Of all of the proposed plans available so far, Sender ID is the strongest, and even the possibility of a an intellectual property lawsuit has done little to taint its reputation.
Microsoft insists that anyone who uses Sender ID agree to a license that prevents them from making changes to the framework and redistributing it, as many in the open source community are wont to do.
The good news is that Sender ID was already based, in part, on Pobox.com's Sender Policy Framework, which is still free to use and implement.

The new specification, called Sender ID, proposes that organizations publish information about their outgoing e-mail servers, particularly IP (Internet Protocol) addresses, in the Domain Name System (DNS) in XML.
If adopted, Sender ID would serve as an e-mail authentication system that verifies the message actually originated with the purported address.
Sender ID and DomainKeys both hope to put an end to spoofing by confirming the sender's actual domain, and thus boost the effectiveness of spam filters, said Microsoft.

Sender ID combines Microsoft's Caller ID for E-mail (which was submitted to the IETF for consideration in May) with Sender Policy Framework (SPF).
Sender ID maintains lists of IP addresses from which sent e-mail can be traced, and if adopted as a standard, could provide a way to close loopholes that allow e-mail senders to spoof or fake the origin of their message.
DomainKeys works differently from Sender ID by using encryption to generate a signature based on the e-mail message text that is placed in the message header.

But if the Microsoft chairman was betting on Sender ID to play a major role in achieving that goal, it looks like a losing bet.

Microsoft argues that publishing SPF or Sender ID records is simple for those organizations that want to do it.
