[QUOTE="net1, post: 46464"] The backers of two anti-spam proposals said on Tuesday they would work together to provide a single standard that would make it easier for Internet providers to block unwanted junk e-mail, Reuters report. Giant software company Microsoft and Pobox.com co-founder Meng Wong said they would combine their approaches, which both aim to weed out fake e-mail addresses used by spammers to cover their tracks. Both Microsoft's Caller ID for e-mail and Wong's Sender Policy Framework would allow Internet providers to check that a message from [email]joe@example.com[/email] actually comes from the numerical addresses used by example.com's e-mail servers. Mail that did not match up could be safely rejected as spam. The standard would pose few difficulties for most companies that handle e-mail, and individual users would not have to make any changes at all. [/QUOTE]
