They'll probably announce something almost exactly along those lines,
even though "blocking SPAM" is a by-product of the real intent of Sender
Authorization (by whichever means).
It's just funny (funny sad, not funny haha) that people seem unable to
distinguish between "authorizing email", and "stopping SPAM".
(not you, Roger, just the General Public)
It's entirely possible the M$ Marketing Machine(tm) will be so succeful
in marketing Sender-ID, that ISP's will be forced to either implement
because of consumer demand, or lose customers to others that will.
So far though, nobody outside of email administrators, and geeks with
too much free time, seem to know or even really care about the issue.
