Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Email spoofing is used by scammers and originators of phishing messages to disguise the source of their messages by making them appear to have come from another domain, possibly one known and trusted by the intended recipient. Microsoft estimates the technique is used in over 95 percent of all exploits.
Microsoft's Sender IT technology is incorporated in the recipient's mail server. It checks the IP addresses of all incoming messages against a list of IP addresses which the owner of the sending domain has specified as addresses from which its mail can originate. Only if the server finds a match will it deliver the message to its intended recipient.
Microsoft claims that Sender ID is the leading e-mail authentication protocol. It was introduced almost two years of and Microsoft claims worldwide deployment to more than 600 million user. According to findings from MarkMonitor and VeriSign it has been adopted by more than five million domain holders.
The specification has been made available under Microsoft's Open Specification Promise (OSP), "an irrevocable promise to every individual in the world that they can make use of the covered Microsoft technology easily and for free." Microsoft says the application of the OSP will make Sender ID "more clearly available to the entire Internet ecosystem, including customers, partners, Internet service providers, registrars and the developer community, no matter what model they use - commercial, open source or academic."
Sender ID is the third area of technology now available under the OSP. Microsoft first announced the availability of an OSP for Web services specifications in September 2006 and extended the OSP to Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) image format specifications earlier in October 2006.
