Hopefully we will be getting less of those spoofed email addresses.

I didn't read the PDF files. Where about does it state that it is charging money?

I was wondering about that one myself until I remembered last week when they were discussing this on one of the news channels, they said something about charging for email in conjunction with this. Not sure why it was not mentioned here or in some of the reference links.

I initially read about the process in PCW Magazine.
Nothing about money mentioned their either.

It mentions that you need to register the IP address of the Email server that you want to protect from being spoofed, but are not charged.

Well, we already knew that. Charging for email is clearly a violation of past protocols. It's like good ol' bill trying to take credit for a GNU program, or better yet, a great program with exposed source code. I don't believe this bull <insert appropriate profanity here> will actually take place. If it will, I can safely say there is no god, only korporate giants.

See this (http://www.computerworld.com/softwaretopics/software/groupware/story/0,10801,89900,00.html) and how it relates to the current thread see this link (http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2004/feb04/02-24RSAAntiSpamTechVisionPR.asp) from the right column in the original thread. Scroll down to where it talks about small senders.
