They list TidBITS on their home page as someone enjoying the benefits of ISIPP's Email Sender Accreditation Program (IADB). Yet, a search within TidBITS yielded nothing about them or their program. Since the TidBITS writers and editors have always been open about what's going on with the publications and delivery, I'm wondering if ISIPP is not completely telling the truth here.
 
I'll leave off any lengthy discussion of BlueSecurity. Many of us in the anti-spam field predicted well in advance how things would end for them. They're not the first to try their idea, just the first to get $5 million in venture capital for it. I'm not enjoying the spin they're giving the media in the wake of their demise.
 
ISIPP is run by CEO Anne Mitchell, an experienced Internet public policy and anti-spam attorney. The full list of their email consultants is quite impressive:

Policy Fellow, Mickey Chandler has been a good friend of mine for many
years. Anne herself was an original founder of Habeas, and prior to
that Director of Legal Affairs for the Mail Abuse Prevention System.
 
These folks are honest, diligent, and very good at what they do.
