Yahoo Proposes New Internet Anti-Spam Structure (“Domain Keys”)

Yahoo Proposes New Internet Anti-Spam Structure:

Yahoo said its “Domain Keys” software, which it hopes to launch in 2004, will be made available freely to the developers of the Web’s major open-source e-mail software and systems.

Under Yahoo’s new architecture, a system sending an e-mail message would embed a secure, private key in a message header. The receiving system would check the Internet’s Domain Name System for the public key registered to the sending domain.
