AOL tests caller ID for e-mail

edited January 2004 in Science & Tech
AOL is testing an antispam filter intended to accurately trace the origin of e-mail messages, a move that some say could bring new accountability to the NET if it proves reliable.

[blockquote]The online unit of media giant Time Warner last week implemented SPF, or Sender Permitted From, an emerging authentication protocol for preventing e-mail forgeries, or spoofing. The trial involves the company's 33 million subscribers worldwide and is the first large-scale test for the protocol, which standards groups are considering along with various other e-mail verification proposals.
