Microsoft Releases 'Caller-ID For Email' Specs
gfilion writes "Microsoft has released a draft specification for Caller-ID for email, 'to address the widespread problem of domain spoofing' - the concept is similar to SPF, but is using XML. There's already an Caller-ID to SPF converter in the works. A few weeks ago, Microsoft discussed compatibility between the projects with Meng Weng Wong (SPF's project leader), but most SPF users are against using XML, so nothing has come of it thus far." We recently covered a brief article mentioning Microsoft's anti-spam work, though this is a clearer indication of their intentions. Update: 02/26 21:36 GMT by T : NewsForge is carrying a brief article with FSF counsel Eben Moglen's take on the draft; Moglen says it is "encumbered with unclear and unnecessary patent license claims."

I don't have email you insensitive clod!
The "reverse slashdot" effect: too many articles to read through equals /.ers momentarily dazzled.
Looking forward to the RT5FA statements.
...consistently crashes Word X on open on my Mac like it's corrupted...but it's not. Any other Mac folk notice anything weird? I've had more Word crashes in the last 5 minutes with it than I have in the past 2 years.
Could this be one of the new funky 2003 XML hybrid docs? If so, they're stooooopid for releasing a white paper in it.
My Word (Office X) crashes consistently when I try to view the document. Ridiculous. Can someone mirror the spec as PDF or HTML please?

exchange is a freaking turd for email. I can say that most of my users get spammed from misconfigured exchange servers somewhere in the world.
Does Mr. Weng Wong sign his Wang?
I don't see that this is any better than a PGP/GPG signed email.

For years linux guys have been using gpg to sign/encrypt their email. One could generate a private key/public key and submit their public key to the publicly available key rings. Also people can sign off on other keys forming "TRUSTED" networks.

Which begs the question
You misspelled "Which raises the question".
An explanation.
TMDA has been nearly 100% effective for me (3 spams have gotten through since I installed it 6 months ago.) It requires you to process the message, but in combination with something like SPF you should be able to reduce network load of forged messages. Of course, if SPF or Microsoft's solution are used, more spammers will go go zombie machines which will cause the network load to go up again...
