Mailqube to Support Sender ID. Leader in enterprise email security supports new email sender authentication standard in its Mailqube 2003 secure email gateway

Atlantic Sky has announced its support to the Sender ID standard for email sender authentication. Atlantic Sky's support will make Sender ID available to global enterprises through its Mailqube 2003 E-mail gateway.

New York, NY (PRWEB) September 5, 2004 -- Atlantic Sky Corporation, one of the worlds leading email security company, has announced its support to the Sender ID standard. Atlantic Sky's support will make Sender ID available to leading global enterprises through its Mailqube 2003 email security gateway, helping accelerate adoption of the new standard. Atlantic Sky has been working closely with industry leaders such as Microsoft and Yahoo! to help shape new sender authentication standards, such as Sender ID and Yahoo! Domain Keys, in an effort to increase the level of sender accountability in email. Sender ID integration is targeted for early 2005.

"Our customers rely on us to identify new technologies to make their email communications more secure," said Marco Pantaleoni, CTO at Mailqube. "Sender ID significantly improves Mailqube 2003 ability to protect our customers from e-mail phishing risks."

Mailqube 2003 email security gateway will include Sender ID as one of the mechanisms used to establish the reputation of email senders and positively fight spam. Maurizio Balestrieri, Mailqube Chief Software Architect, said "While SPF isn't a silver bullet for the spam problem, the technology works particularly well with our challenge-response anti-spam gateway, and will be part of the Mailqube multilayered defense perimeter against junk e-mails".

Sender ID, the convergence of Microsofts Caller ID for Email proposal and the Sender Policy Framework (SPF), matches the listed Internet domain of an email to the sending IP address. Organizations publish Sender ID records to announce legitimate sources of their email. As the majority of email security threats today contain an illegally forged sender domain, email security appliances that support Sender ID allow receivers to distinguish legitimate mail from phishing attacks, forged spam, worms and viruses. More information about Sender ID can be found at www.microsoft.com/senderid.

Mailqube joins with this announcement other companies which gathered at the Sender ID Summit conducted by Microsoft and the Email Service Provider Coalition at Microsoft's Redmond campus in the United States earlier this month.
