§ - In War Over Spam, One Company Is Happily Arming Both Sides

I've been using SpamCop for about 4½ years myself and it's been getting clear that Julian's been needing some financing for some time. Hope all goes as expected. At least one of the hardest-working volunteers over the years is now actually getting paid, which she certainly deserves! Go Ellen!

§ - Proposed Spam-Blocking Technology Is a Long Way Away

"Under the proposal, ISPs and any other organization with their own domain name system (DNS) would use a private key in their mail servers to place an encrypted code in the header of each piece of outgoing mail. When the mail arrived at its destination, the receiving mail server would get the sender's public key from its DNS server to decrypt the header, thus verifying the message's origin. If the message is spam, or even a legitimate marketing message the receiver doesn't want, then email from that DNS can be blacklisted, or automatically blocked."
