Authentication and Reputation Support
Email today is about as mainstream as any technology can be, yet the viability of email is continually being threatened by viruses, spam, spoofing, and phishing. All of these threats are shaking the confidence in email as a viable tool for communications and conducting business.
Addressing these threats is in everyone's interest, and email authentication is one of the key technologies that can bring some order to the chaos. Leading authentication protocols in place or being proposed today, include:
- SPF
- Sender-ID from Microsoft
- DomainKeys from Yahoo
- DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) from Yahoo and Cisco
Because the industry is still working towards a common solution, there is no generally accepted standard on the receiving end. Therefore, the burden is on the sender to support all of the authentication protocols that receivers might require, and you need to be prepared to support those standards today.
