Yahoo! Anti-Spam Resource Center - DomainKeys
Slowly, the technogiants are taking on spam with some effective technologies. Signing the messages on the server allows you to verify that they've come from where they say they have. Not that this is radical in many ways - similar systems have been described here and elsewhere - but it needs uptake from most of the main players before it becomes successful. And here's the issue - people hate spam, but are not really willing to do that much about it, especialy if it's technical - so I personaly doubt the cost claims made about it. Sure, it's a big issue, and yes, it's getting worse, and yes, something will soon have to be done. But commercially, that time is not yet here.....
