Microsoft Submits Email Caller ID to the IETF

NetWizard writes "Following on the heels of Yahoo submitting DomainKeys, Microsoft decided to submit their "Caller ID" anti-spam proposal as a draft to the IETF. This proposal tries to tie in IP addresses to the domain of the sender just like SPF does. To make things even more interesting, looks like SPF and MSFT's Caller-ID proposals are merging. On a related note, Yahoo submitted an IPR disclosure for DomainKeys to the IETF."

Of course!

This way, later on they can include an XML tag for windows boxes that says "this is good mail" whilst all other mailers won't have this tag, and will be seen as "this is evil mail" when opened with Outlook 2015. Then picture them patenting this idea of "secure" email.

How long...

..before Microsoft releases a train of patches that exploit a vulnerability that allows the attacker to gain complete control over the host machine? And then how many more such patches every month?...

Ooh, just can't wait to find out...
