SPF To Be Integrated With MS 'Caller ID' System

Posted by timothy on from the in-quotes dept.

An anonymous reader submits "CNET's news.com is reporting 'An ongoing effort to consolidate antispam authentication schemes took a big step forward with the merging of Sender Policy Framework (SPF) and Microsoft's Caller ID for E-mail.' This is potentially good news." For more background, here are three previous mentions of Microsoft's proposed Caller ID-style system.

      What the hell, I've got karma to burn...

      Why the fuck is this modded up 'funny'?! It's worse enough lame 'In Soviet Russia' jokes get modded up (although admittedly there are a couple of good ones). But this is like modding up 'Think of a joke and laugh'.

      (soapbox) I agree my joke was awful, however, I do find this an interesting comment on how modding on slashdot sometimes operates: i.e. some ppl thought my admittedly bad joke was funny, they modded it up. then Da Fokka posted his entirely true comment. ppl felt bad about laughing at a stupid and pointlessly offtopic joke and modded my post down.
