MailFrontier to Testify at Email Authentication Summit Sponsored by the Federal Trade Commission and U.S. Department of Commerce

Palo Alto, Calif. – November 3, 2004 – MailFrontier™, a pioneer in email security and leading provider of anti-spam and anti-phishing solutions, today announced that Pavni Diwanji, chairman and founder of MailFrontier will deliver testimony at the Email Authentication Summit. The Summit is hosted by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology and is being held November 9-10, 2004 in Washington, D.C. Diwanji was selected to deliver MailFrontier’s testimony as part of a panel entitled “Email Authentication: How Spammers Circumvent Authentication Methods,” scheduled for November 10, 2004, 8:45a.m.–10:15 a.m.

The Summit follows the FTC’s June 15, 2004 National Do Not Email Registry Report to Congress. In that report, the FTC identified domain-level authentication as a promising technological development that would enable Internet Service Providers and other domain holders to better filter spam, and that would provide law enforcement with a potent tool for locating and identifying spammers.

“As email authentication standards start to come together, we believe that understanding the benefits and limitations of email authentication is critical,” said Diwanji. “We applaud the effort that the FTC in putting behind this two-day Summit and I am pleased to have been selected as one of only a few email security vendor speakers for this critical gathering of the public and private sectors.”

Diwanji has most recently testified before the California State Senate on the topic of email security, in addition to providing expertise to the Government Accounting Office.
