Microsoft to Deploy SPF for Hotmail Users
wayne writes "In a show of just how much Microsoft wants to put an end to email forgery, Hotmail, MSN and Microsoft.com will start enforcing Sender ID checks by Oct 1. In late May, MicroSoft announced that they would be adopting the Open Source SPF anti-forgery system (with a slight modification to make it Sender ID) and they have been working together with the IETF MARID working group to help create an RFC to define the Sender ID standard. Already tens of thousands of domain owners, such as AOL, Earthlink, and Gmail, have published SPF records, and thousands of systems are already checking SPF records. Publishing SPF records is easy, as is checking SPF records."
When I do click on a related page and it does not load due to various reasons, its rather hard to read and be 'educated'.. Thus my reasoning for asking, with the thought that someone might be kind enough to explain.
However in this 'me me me' world, common courtesy and helpfulness is rapidly becoming endangered..

Light a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
And of course the obligatory: Start the man a fire and he's warm for the rest of the night, start the man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.
