IAB Rejects SPF Appeal

Posted March 2, 2006 – 12:32 pm by Yakov Shafranovich in Spam and Email

Following on the heels of an IESG appeal rejection back in December, the IAB announced today that they rejected the appeal of the SPF community and upheld the original IESG decision to publish both Sender-ID and SPF documents. The particular problem was that Microsoft’s Sender-ID piggied back on the SPF records and interpreted them in a way different than the SPF community did.

In any case, unless they plan on appealing to the ISOC board, this probably settles it. Both SPF and Sender-ID will be published as experimental standards, although I haven’t really heard a lot recently about either one them. Could it be that they are no longer popular?
