Thanks for that.


We demonstrated that RMX did not solve the problem it set out to
solve.

I do not remember that anyone did demonstrate that. 


On the contrary, RMX solved a major problem in contrast to the current
SenderID proposal.  Many people, including myself, do receive
significant more false bounce messages and spam complaints than 
spam messages, because spammers abuse my e-mail address or domain. 
Therefore RMX was designed to verify the envelope sender and it
does that job.

In contrast, SenderID does not solve that problem. Guess why.  





No doubt, the
MARID group chairs do not want to appear to simply re-hash RMX under a
different name. In order to avoid that, they have to pretend it wasn't
written by you.


This might be true.
