Online antispam tools offered by Microsoft

InfoWorld | at | by Mike

Microsoft is beefing up its antispam efforts by offering new data services that Internet service providers can use to determine how much e-mail traffic they are generating to MSN Hotmail, how that e-mail is affected by MSN Hotmail spam filtering and what percentage has been marked as spam by customers.

Both services are designed to complement industry efforts -- such as the use of e-mail authentication mechanisms like the Sender ID Framework -- to help reduce spam, phishing scams and viruses, according to the company.
