IETF forces AOL to Drop email CallerID

The recent decision by the IETF to reject Sender ID as an ANTI-SPAM standard has forced AOL to reconsider it's use. Instead AOL will join other ISP's in the implementation of SPF only. The reasons for the rejection of Caller / Sender ID were around patent rights around the technology. The IETF were reluctant to build into any public standard the dependency on any one proprietary technology.
