Sendmail releases open source milter for testing Yahoo! DomainKeys

2004-05-31 11:00:57

As part of our broad-reaching effort to spur the testing and eventual
broad adoption of sender-based email authentication to address fraud
and spam in email, Sendmail, Inc. is releasing an open source
implementation of the Yahoo! DomainKeys specification for testing on
the Internet.

This implementation, part of the Sendmail Messaging Integrity program,
utilizes the milter interface to plug directly into the sendmail MTA.
To speed the adoption of sender-based messaging authentication
schemes, Sendmail is aggressively testing these implementations in the
Pilot Program. The goals of this program are to:

     * Deploy and test milter-based implementations of sender
       authentication schemes like DomainKeys and the evolving merger
       of Caller ID for Email and SPF.
     * Encourage diverse user communities to thoroughly test different
       sender authentication approaches using real-world use cases.
     * Develop additional testing scenarios based on feedback from
       program participants and like implementations of sender-based
       messaging authentication.
     * Share and publish results in a community forum purpose-built
       to share ideas about email authentication.

Sendmail is actively seeking participants and feedback for this Pilot
Program.  For more information about how you or your organization can
get involved in piloting the next generation in fraud and spam
protection software, please visit:
