Microsoft, Ironport team against spam

C|Net | at | by Mike

Microsoft is expected to announce on Wednesday a partnership with IronPort, adopting its antispam protections for MSN and Hotmail e-mail. Under the agreement, Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft will use Ironport's "bonded sender" e-mail certification program, according to Ironport representatives. That means that Microsoft will defer to Ironport's list of qualifying senders before allowing their e-mail through its gates.
