Sorry to raise a topic with so little information, but...
I picked up and skimmed a Linux Journal in B&N Friday. What interested me was
an article by the founder of pobox proposing a scheme for SMTP authentication
(I can't recall the acronym) positing that most spam has some form of forged
headers. The idea was by detecting and stopping forgeries, it would also
stop most spam and viruses. Use of the protocol seemed like a pretty simple
patch or plug-in compatible with most OSS MTAs (sendmail, postfix & qmail,
and others I can't recall). Sounded promising. I wish I could recall more.
