Could we be on the verge of a breakthrough in the spam problem? As ClickZ summarizes, "a new field that would be added to the e-mail "envelope" called "RFROM." (The "R" stands for responsible.) This field would contain the e-mail address responsible for sending of the message, and it could be checked by a receiving mail system before the e-mail is accepted." Meng Weng Wong writes, "Some news on the convergence between SPF and Caller-ID can be read at ClickZ, InfoWorld, and news.com. I also announced a slideshow to the SPF-discuss and MARID mailing lists." Do view the slideshow - it's nothing but HTML with a nifty page-turner and graphically describes the proposal a lot better than the articles can.
