The problem Hotmail has is that they are being used as fake sender. Thus people associate Hotmail with spam, which is bad for their business. Increasingly Hotmail is block on sight domain. Secondly Hotmail has the roblem of decreasing revenue from advertising. People use HotPop and similar scripts to read their mailboxes and they never visit the site. SenderID was designed to give receiving servers a way to verify that the sending server is really operated by Hotmail. If the receiving servers really use that option, all email claiming to be from a Hotmail address has to pass through a Hotmail server. Hotmail scores propaganda points by saying they developed a new anti-spam technology, but what they really do is deploy a technnology that forces their users to go through their servers. No more using a Hotmail return address in email that is send through the SMTP server of your ISP. For every email you want to send with a Hotmail address you have to visit their site and log in to that horrible advertisement loaden interface. And most mailinglists will break too. And spammers? Already most domains using SenderID / SPF are owned by spammers, Jochem ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase Homesite Plus with Dreamweaver from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=55 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:166117 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
