INTERNET WEEK -- Nearly every major Irish technical mailing list deails with anti-spam tactics. Recent commments dealt with the Anti-Spam Research Group's plans to combat the growing nuisance. The plan is significant because, "The ASRG has the prestige to get its proposals put in place." One major initiative: enabling technology that makes it diffocult to send emails with false email addresses. This alone would be a major boon, since it would allow countermeasures to be taken against known spammers. Other rpoposals include trusted sender technology, reputation systems, spam reporting systems, and more. Mitch Wagner: Major Internet Standards Group Working On Fast Plan To Can Spam x_ref1482
