Is the current spam war a Microsoft creation?

| Well, let me introduce you to Microsoft's Sender ID system. It's a
| system that basically puts a flag on every legitimate mail server out
| there in an effort to curb spam by preventing unauthorized hosts or
| botnets from sending mail unless they have a valid Sender ID, which
| they wouldn't get. The problem with this is it puts tremendous power
| in the hands of Microsoft. With this they could control internet
| mail in a way that would cripple anyone who was an open critic of
| Microsoft while giving a blank check to anyone who was a friend of
| Microsoft and paid them significant enough monies.
