The Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group to Evaluate and Recommend
E-Mail Authentication Protocols WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 4
/PRNewswire/ -- The Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group (MAAWG), a
group of communications and technology companies committed to
solving spam, viruses and other forms of messaging abuse, announced
today that its members will work toward adopting common standards
for the deployment of sender authentication technologies. Members
of the MAAWG technical committee are evaluating the proposals left
following the MARID working group, disbanded earlier this year by
the IETF. Already, MAAWG technical committee members have begun
deploying the Sender Policy Framework proposal for validating the
return address of an email message (commonly known as SPF Classic),
the latest proposal on SenderID and Client SMTP Validation (CSV).
MAAWG will share and discuss the results of this deployment in the
upcoming weeks and months. MAAWG members have also committed to
continuing their collaboration efforts to implement additional
messaging security measures, such as the use of cryptographic
signatures, reputation systems and accreditation agencies and
accountability systems. "Today's announcement shows that our
industry is committed to working together to evaluate, develop and
deploy authentication standards that can help alleviate the ongoing
spam and phishing menace," said Tripp Cox, chief technology officer
of EarthLink and co-chair of MAAWG's Technology Subcommittee.
"MAAWG members will work collaboratively to share data and results
that can help identify and refine the best authentication
technology solutions for protecting consumers' inboxes." For more
