        From that article: 'Sender ID is a proposed technology standard, 
        backed by Microsoft, for verifying an e-mail message's source. It 
        combines two previous standards: the Microsoft-developed "Caller 
        ID," and the Meng Weng Wong-developed SPF.'

        Here's Hotmail's Caller ID record:

_ep.hotmail.com text = "<ep xmlns='http://ms.net/1&apos; 
testing='true'><out><m><indirect>list1._ep.hotmail.com</indirect><indirect>list2._ep.hotmail.com</indirect><indirect>list3._ep.hotmail.com</indirect></m></out></ep>"
