Comments on: ISP to use Sender ID http://www.p2pnet.net/story/2731 p2pnet.net - reader powered Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:05:08 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Reader's Write http://www.p2pnet.net/story/2731/comment-page-1#comment-6322 Reader's Write Sun, 17 Oct 2004 09:08:24 +0000 #comment-6322 Sender ID is not meant to prevent spammers to send crap. It is designed so you know from where the crap came from. I.e.: the server that it came through. You can then notify that server to stop spam coming through, and if you receive lots of spam from a server, you can block that server. Sender ID cannot block spam by itself, it must be used with traditionnal methods of finding spam (honeypot), except now you can then block the servers that are faulty. To blindly trust that a message is not spam because sender ID tells you that the correct server sent it is just stupid, dumb and basically insane troll logic.
