| This implementation, part of the Sendmail Messaging Integrity program,

| 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:
