Google's popular free Web-based e-mail service is testing phishing protection designed to alert users to potential e-mail fraud attacks.
America Online said Thursday that it will not support a Microsoft-backed antispam technology called Sender ID.
An anti-spam technology that focuses on identifying forged e-mail addresses has been proposed as a standard by Cisco, Yahoo and partners.
At the start of last year, Bill Gates told the world's elite at an annual conference in Davos, Switzerland, that the problem of spam would be solved in two years.
The promise of e-mail authentication is too good to ignore, but if it is implemented incorrectly it will break a company's mail system instead of fixing it, experts have cautioned.
For almost two years, I've argued for a non-proprietary, interoperable, freely deployable anti-spam standard, even as every spam-fighting solution I've seen has failed to pass muster. Until now.
It is vital that the tech industry raises awareness of the scale of the problem of junk e-mail, industry experts said.
The world's e-mail network is no longer the friendly place it once was and authentication could mean the end for the platform as we know it.
The tactical battle between Web users and spammers is stepping up a gear. We look at what is being done to bring an end the endless avalanche of junk email before we're all buried by it.
A coalition aiming to junk e-mail unites behind a US law but stumbles over a technology solution.
