Hi Jonathan. Thanks for your input. You say that you are going to
recommend going forward with Sender-ID, even though it has gone through
no real testing and has not been adopted as a standard yet. Is your
recommendation based solely on the belief that Microsoft's backing will
ensure it's success despite the resistance from the open source camp or
do you feel that it is a superior technology to, say, SPF?
Also, I have noticed that the MTAs that Bell uses includes the GPL'ed
Exim and the ASL licensed InterMail. Do you expect to have to replace
these with Sendmail?
Thanks,
Kevin

I am sure that we can come up with multiple conspiracy

assume that perhaps Microsoft was acting in good faith.
Descending into conspiracy theories will not make this any
better, and quite the opposite, will make the entire
discussion appear unprofessional.
Microsoft knows what the issues are, they are receiving
comments from multiple people and sources. The decision on
the license is upto them.
The decision on the standard on the other hand is upto the us.

IMHO...(short version)
I will recommending that we move forward with the implementation of
SenderID within Bell Canada (over 35,000 domains) as I believe the
licensing component has zero to do with the technology and cost of
implemention. The support that Microsoft will generate over night for
this solution will drive global adoptation - something this solution is
going to need to be successful.
