Even if Microsoft manages to pull one off here (which I doubt, as I'm sure their position on releasing it without anchors to sink open source), it's so far behind in the game that I can't see it being anything but a bit player. They screwed themselves by trying to be a**holes to the open source crowd, and to all those who didn't want to have one of the key areas of Internet architecture locked into by a certain gang in Redmond, Washington. Between SPF, ISPs blocking outgoing port 25 traffic to all but MTAs, greylisting, anti-spam software like Declue and vigorous blackholing of the few "legitimate' spammers out there, I think the marginalization of spam is probably forseeable in the next two or three years. My feeling is that MS trying to push Sender ID through is just an example of closing the barn door after the cows have come home. -- A.
