Microsoft *DOESN'T* claim all rights to Sender ID. If you read carefully 
through the IETF postings by Harry Katz, he lays no claim to the stuff in 
the core document, which is pretty much SPF. He only asserts rights on the 
other documents that came from Caller ID.


  You should stick up for it..


Trust me, if you follow the IETF postings, they are sticking up for it. SPF 
isn't really Mengs idea in the patent sense. Prior art exists as early as 
1997 by one named Jim Miller.

As far as the title, I feel Meng should call Cloudmark and explain that 
Sender ID doesn't belong to Microsoft and it is inappropriate to call it 
Microsoft's Sender ID.
