AOL Rejects Microsoft Antispam Tech

America Online has declared it will not support the Sender ID antispam technology proposed by Microsoft, instead placing its online might behind SPF, or Sender Policy Framework. The announcement is the second major setback for Microsoft's efforts, following news this week that the IETF standards body would not validate Sender ID due to patent concerns. Meanwhile, Yahoo! is focusing on another standard called DomainKeys, leaving the industry without a consensus on how to block spam.
