Yahoo Joins Cisco In Combating Spam

In order to combat the spam menace, Yahoo Mail! and Cisco Systems are launching an authentication technology designed to combat e-mail forgery by verifying the address of origin of e-mail messages.

The combined technology solution would be called DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM), and would be offered royalty-free to the industry at large.

The e-mail authentication proposal is expected to enhance consumer protection from e-mail forgery, and also enhance accountability for spam and phishing scams.

Yahoo is receiving more than 350 million messages signed by DomainKeys per day. By collobarating with key players like Cisco and technology visionaries like Eric Allman of Sendmail, we can offer a solution that addresses the problem of e-mail forgery today, and also increase the level of defense against fraudulent e-mails and phishing attacks,"

They have also developed and implemented DomainKeys Technology in an effort to address the growing threat of e-mail forgery.
