Hotmail To Junk Non-Sender-ID Mail

Posted by Zonk on Thursday June 23, 2005 @02:23AM from the talking-to-yourself dept.

William Robinson writes "If your e-mail does not have a Sender ID, Microsoft wants to junk your message. Somewhere after November, MSN and Hotmail will consider it as spam. Sender ID is a specification for verifying the authenticity of e-mail by ensuring the validity of the server from which the e-mail came. Some experts feel that 'Sender ID' is not an accepted standard and has many shortcomings. Some also feel that Microsoft is trying to strong-arm the industry into the adoption of an incomplete and not accepted standard."

Need a GMAIL Invite? by Proudrooster · 2005-06-23 02:48 · Score: 0, Offtopic

Anyone looking to ditch hotmail? Let me know and I will send you your very own GMAIL invitation. GMAIL is not run by the "evil empire" and generally does an excellent job at crushing spam. GMAIL is run by a cool company named Google, while Hotmail is run by a crusty, uncool company named MicroSoft. Just based on cool points alone, GMAIL is the superior choice.
