TORONTO, Oct. 14 — Internet Light and Power will make available the anticipated Sender ID e-mail authentication technology to its customers on Nov. 1. Sender ID and its variations are expected to emerge through various service providers in a collective industry effort to authenticate e-mail sources. Sender ID will be incorporated into the latest version of iPermitMail, ILAP's anti-spam service.
With Sender ID, e-mail sources will be authenticated to ensure they originated from a legitimate source, such as a recognized bank or e-commerce business. This will filter out random phishing attempts by criminals impersonating such businesses by fraudulently using a legitimate business domain in the "from sender" line.
The service will be available through iPermitMail, ILAP's anti-spam e-mail firewall service used by businesses and individuals. Sender ID will be incorporated into the upcoming version. Users will have the option of using iPermitMail and Sender ID together, or independently.
