The latest Sender ID developments: BTW, you may want to take a look at the ISIPP site (www.isipp.com). I have been using a few of their Accreditation Database lists with Declude (low hit rates right now), with some success.
Anne's bio: "Anne P. Mitchell, Esq., President and CEO, Institute for Spam and Internet Public Policy (ISIPP) Anne Mitchell was one of the original founders of Habeas, Inc., where she served as President and CEO from its inception through its first year, establishing Habeas as an industry leader and changing the face of whitelisting of legitimate email. Prior to her work with Habeas, she served as the Director of Legal and Public Affairs for Mail Abuse Prevention System (MAPS), one of the original and most well-respected anti-spam services on the Internet. Mitchell is a graduate of Stanford Law School, a Professor of Law at Lincoln Law School of San Jose, and a member of the California Bar. She has consulted with both state and Federal legislators on anti-spam legislative issues in the 2002-2003 legislative sessions, and is available as a litigation consultant for cases relating to spam and the Internet."
