Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Sender: (Unverified) Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2004 16:00:15 -0500 To: undisclosed-recipient:; From: Monty Solomon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sendmail and Yahoo! Mail Collaborate to Develop and Deploy DomainKeys; Sendmail and Yahoo! Mail To Begin Testing Innovative Cryptographic Authentication System - Feb 24, 2004 07:55 AM (BusinessWire)
EMERYVILLE, Calif. & SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 24, 2004--Sendmail, Inc., the global provider of electronic message management solutions and Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO), a leading global Internet company, will begin testing the DomainKeys(TM) cryptographic authentication solution in March 2004. Sendmail will test DomainKeys, an initiative recently introduced by Yahoo!, with a wide variety of open standards software to facilitate rapid adoption across the Internet.
DomainKeys provide a mechanism for verifying the identity of an email sender in order to solve common spamming techniques such as forgery and spoofing -- impersonating the sender of the email to appear as if it came from somewhere or someone other than the actual source. This authentication solution leverages public/private key cryptography to generate a signature in the header of the email message. When an email message is received from a particular domain, the receiving system verifies the signature with the sender's public key that is published in the public Domain Name System ("DNS"). If the public key cannot verify the signature, the identity of the sender is not validated and the receiving system's local anti-spam policy should be applied.
