"We think this is great," said Samantha McManus, business strategy
manager for Microsoft's technology care and safety group. "We're
glad to see Sender ID's experimental status, and we think e-mail
authentication is very important for addressing spam and
phishing. That said, we definitely have more to do."
Sender ID "embraces and extends" SPF, according to McManus,
introducing more complex ways of tracking data about e-mail
servers and senders.
At least they admit what they have done.
"Embrace and extend" is a well-known term in the computer world, and
everybody with a bit of clue will know why it is a bad thing, especially
if it is done by Microsoft.
So we should definitely quote them on that. Perhaps in a press release of
our own. That might actually make people want to use the "real thing"
instead of the "embraced and extended" one.
