Promising antispam technique gets nod

Spammers, phishers and other Internet bottom-feeders, be warned.
A key Internet standards body gave preliminary approval on Tuesday to a powerful technology designed to detect and block fake e-email messages.
It's called DomainKeys Identified Mail, and it promises to give Internet users the best chance so far of staunching the seemingly endless flow of fraudulent junk e-mail.
Yahoo, Cisco Systems, Sendmail and PGP Corporation are behind the push for DomainKeys, which the companies said in a joint statement will provide "businesses with heightened brand protection by providing message authentication, verification and traceability to help determine whether a message is legitimate."
