SenderID needs to be registered over ComReg portal. ComReg is regulatory entity in Ireland.
During registration it is important to add Bird as OPA, this means that you are allowing us to send your traffic.
ComReg has ETA of 5 days to do the registration.
Once registration is done sender ID will be listed on their list which also means it will be added in our system.

If sender ID is not registered it will be manipulated to Likely Scam.
