Reports published today indicate that Microsoft may attempt to mark messages from domains without SenderID records as Spam for their MSN and Hotmail services sometime in the November timeframe in attempts to cut down on spam.
I tend to agree with some of those quoted in the article in that this seems to be an attempt to force SenderID to be adopted, and as such, may be doomed to fail. I hope this stance is re-visited before November.
