MSN Postmaster Services Launches

By Nate Mook | Published April 18, 2006, 11:13 AM

Microsoft on Tuesday officially launched MSN Postmaster Services, which provides tools and information to ISPs on how they can work with Microsoft's e-mail filtering to ensure their messages reach Hotmail customers. ISPs can also review complaint reports and track e-mail sent to MSN that has been tagged as junk.

The service launched in early beta last year and is part of a number initiatives by Microsoft to reduce spam. The Redmond company on Tuesday also touted the success of the Sender ID framework, which verifies the domain an e-mail claims to originate from. MSN Postmaster Services is completely free and is currently available in English with other languages forthcoming.

"monopolistic"

I do not think that word means what you think it means... ;)

AOL's solution sucked. I'll give you that, but I defend their right to suck...AOL is not a monopoly.

i dont think AOL is a monopoly either, i just think the "email-fee" was ....
since they'd be the only ones controlling its implementation ...
i mean, why not follow up a more "universal" email authentication ??
how about heuristics ???
obviously not because AOL wouldnt be in control of this ... :P

...makes no sense.

Why shouldn't AOL be allowed to decide how they do or do noth charge for Email over their network?

Wanna know a secret? You also have to pay for MS's solution. MS uses BondedSender to guarantee getting into the inbox which is also a pay service. The rest of their site has some basic rules about handling email, just like AOL, Yahoo and the rest have.
