Yahoo Releases Anti-Spam Technique For
Upcoming Standards Battle 05/18/2004 06:16 PM
One thing that you can guarantee in the technology world is that there will never be a shortage of standards battles. While AOL is supporting Sender Policy Framework (SPF) as their way of authenticating email senders, Microsoft is pushing their "caller ID" method of combating spoofed spam and Yahoo has been pushing ahead with their own DomainKeys proposal. Today, Yahoo is making some news by announcing that they're releasing the technology as a standard. A standard for whom? So far, it seems like it's just Yahoo. Are we going to reach a point where our mail servers are going to need to separately check DomainKeys, SPF, email Caller ID, some giant useless "do not spam" database, and twenty other anti-spam systems before they'll be able to forward mail? Is it really a "standard" if everyone has their own?

Anti-Spam Solution

Microsoft Working On Greylisting
Anti-Spam Solution 12/26/2003 02:55 PM
While others are saying that the only way to stop spam is to make people pay for email, others are coming up with slightly more creative solutions. Realizing that having people actually pay money to send emails brings up a lot of other problems, it appears that Microsoft is picking up on the idea of greylisting by creating their own style of spam delay technology called "Penny Black". The idea is that if you're sending email from an unrecognized location, the server will slow your machine down temporarily, making it much more expensive for the spammer - who needs to get more machines and more bandwidth to keep sending out the same number of emails. Of course, these days, with spammers hijacking others' machines, they might not care so much.
