I suppose I should twist my mouth properly when I say that.
Maybe, "SenderID was put on a non-standards track by the internet task
force and does not stop SPAM,"?
and it contains a Microsoft patented algorithm.
Draw your own conclusions.
Not that I'm convinced it's a good idea, but...
IETF Approves SPF and Sender-ID

NW writes "According to the records in the IETF's database (here
and here), both the SPF and Sender-ID anti-spam proposals were
tentatively approved by the IESG (the approval board of the

Getting involved in the neighbor's family squabbles is dangerous.
But if the abusive partner has a habit of shooting through his/her
roof,
the guy who lives upstairs is in a bit of a catch-22.
