Re: [Asrg] [IP] 4 Rivals Almost United on Ways to Fight Spam

When the top 500 domains of the world have valid Sender ID (Caller ID + SPF)
records, then they can easily collude to exclude any other domain that
doesn't have valid Sender ID records.  Then everyone else would have to
comply with Sender ID if they wish to send mail to the top 500 domains.
Sooner would be better with me.  Is this bullying?  I hope so.  It's not
like it's going to cost a lot to comply.
