BBC NEWS | Technology | Net giants adopt anti-spam system
From October, AOL, Yahoo, Hotmail, Earthlink and Comcast want those that send lots of messages to their users to comply with new mail standards.These technical specifications will help reveal whether a message came from the net address it claims to.
This will help identify hi-tech con artists posing as banks and net domains known to pump out junk mail messages.
Hmmm... Lots of different noises about this - some good, some bad. Note not a single UK ISP is on the list. Wonder whether they will buy into this or not?
