Gmail jibes with Yahoo to fight spam
Messages from Gmail sent Monday indicated that they were encoded with DomainKeys technology, as evidenced by logs in the message headers. When an e-mail header from a Gmail message was opened, a code reading "DomainKey-Signature" appeared.
DomainKeys is a technology backed by Yahoo that tries to cross-check e-mail messages to verify their origination. The idea is to thwart e-mail "spoofers," which are spam messages that pretend to be from legitimate Internet addresses. These spoofed e-mails often pass through spam filters and fool recipients into opening the messages. "We are encouraged by the adoption of DomainKeys and believe it is a key step in furthering the industry's fight against spam and e-mail forgery," Yahoo spokeswoman Mary Osako said. "Spam is an industry issue, and we believe collaboration with the Internet community is vital in solving the authentication issue." A representative from Google was not immediately available for comment. _______________ Read More/Source: C|Net Tech News
