If certain people had been a little more "PRO GROUP" and a little less "PRO WHATEVER MS WANTS TO
PUSH" then I would agree with you.
But the facts are the facts:
-the suppression of anyone talking about the IP concerns
-the suppression of the original mail-from SPF functionality
-accepting the repeated disclosure delays from Microsoft
-giving the OK to the MS license which is clearly incompatible with a significant portion of MTA's
-the suppression of alternative parallel scopes (until forced at the very end)
Therefore I cannot agree with you. It stank from day 1, and this effort of MS to steal the IP of
SPF and related methods illustrates an ulterior motive from the start. The good news is I don't
think it will work, providing the patent claims are fought off with prior art disclosure, and the
fact that MS does NOT represent the majority of MTA's anyway.
Lets proceed with SPF Classic and/or Unified SPF.
