As a newcomer to the SPF / M$ IP / IETF scenario, what does this mean for us
"common folk"?  Please keep in mind that I have watched this list for quite
some time but the whole M$ and SPF thing has never been very clear to me. I
apologize if this has been commented / beat to death in the past.

I enjoy SPF - the email type not the sun block type - it works for me and my
small company but I rely on courier for our business.  If Sam cannot support
the future incarnation of SPF (SenderID if I'm correct) then I can't either
and I'm fairly certain that courier has a fairly large install base.  How
should we go about this and / or deal with this statement?

All, I am sorry to bring this up but maybe this will be good for future
people to see in the archive and not ask it again ;-)

FWIW, my opinion is that SPF is here and now, and it is here to stay.
SenderID is a very uncertain bet at the moment, and will not find as
much of a widespread adoption as SPF will. 

Unified SPF is very promising, and I will for sure continue to support
spf development. As it stands now, SenderID is something I will stay
far, far away from.
