Actually if aol, hotmail and yahoo implement the DNS side, that's 90% of the
spam I see (as forged addresses from those domains are the most common). It
wont have the same effect against virii and worms as those tend to be more
widespread domain-wise.
Given I heard some really obscene numbers for the amount of spam and worms the
large ISPs deal with every day, I would think they would be very inclined to
implement it. (I know AOL already ran one test, I don't know what happened
with it though).
