Four Major ISPs To Use 'CertifiedEmail'
Controversial system lands major adopters
Last year AOL and Yahoo implemented a new spam protection model (Goodmail's CertifiedEmail) that allowed "legit" spammers to pay a fee in order to bypass their spam filters and reach customers. At the time, groups like the EFF and Spamhaus railed against the plan, the latter suggesting the idea would "destroy the spirit of the Internet." While the debate over the practice has quieted down, expect it to heat up again tomorrow with the announcement that Comcast, Cox, Roadrunner/TWC and Verizon will be implementing the system.
