DoubleClick Announces Compliance With Sender ID for Email
DoubleClick Announces Compliance With Sender ID for EmailCompany Embraces Authenticated Email Solution to Help Counter Spam, Email Spoofing and Phishing
New York, NY and Redmond, WA, 8/11/2004 - DoubleClick Inc. (Nasdaq: DCLK), the leading provider of technology solutions for marketers, advertising agencies and web publishers, today announced that its DARTmail email management system is fully compliant with Microsofts Sender ID framework. DoubleClick is the first Email Service Provider to announce its compliance with Sender ID. The announcement was made today at the Email Service Provider Coalitions (ESPCs) Sender ID Summit at Microsofts headquarters in Redmond, Washington.
Sender ID, which is designed to eliminate domain spoofing and better enable email recipients to identify and filter junk mail, allows the recipient to verify that each e-mail message originates from the Internet domain it claims to come from based on the sender's server IP address. As such, compliance with the Sender ID framework ensures email sent by DoubleClicks customers will be more easily identifiable as coming from a legitimate source rather than from spoofed domains commonly associated with spam and phishing scams.
Since the spam epidemic exploded in the past few years, we have always maintained that a solution could only come from a combination of legislation, technology, industry self-regulation and consumer education, said Ken Takahashi, Senior Director of Email Operations and ISP relations at DoubleClick. We firmly believe that email authentication solutions, such as Sender ID, will make eliminating spam significantly easier for ISPs, and in turn, increase the value of email for legitimate marketers.
Microsoft is fully committed to working with its customers, its partners, and across the industry to help eradicate spam and protect e-mail as an essential and valuable communications tool, said Ryan Hamlin, General Manager of Microsofts Safety Technology and Strategy Group. We are delighted to see DoubleClick, which represents hundreds of legitimate marketers, embracing this technology and helping us to drive the industry towards a spam-free future.
Todays announcement is the culmination of several years of collaboration between ISPs and Email Service Providers, added DoubleClicks Takahashi. ISPs such as Microsoft should be applauded for not only focusing on eliminating the spam that their customers receive, but also in working with representatives of legitimate marketers to help differentiate their mail from unwanted spam.
The ESPCs Sender ID Summit includes over 50 Email Service Provider Coalition members who provide mail delivery services to an estimated 250,000 clients, in addition to leading companies and organizations, such as mail transfer agents (MTA), reputation and seal providers, and anti-spam vendors.
The Internet Engineering Task Force is currently evaluating the Sender ID framework drafted by Microsoft Corp. and Meng Wong of pobox.com as a potential industry standard for email authentication to address the domain spoofing problem.
