Yahoo takes on spam
Yahoo has begun attaching antispam technology to all of its outgoing e-mails, hoping that other providers will follow suit.
Messages from its free e-mail service will include a “DomainKey,” a system that creates a digital signature for outgoing e-mail and then lets receivers verify that the message comes from where it claims. The technology tries to thwart spam “phishing” attacks in which messages pretend to originate from a familiar address and then launch viruses or social engineering hacks when opened.
