WinInfo | at | by Mike
Microsoft has unveiled a new set of MSN Hotmail-based services aimed at helping the email industry combat junk mail. The two new services are called MSN Postmaster and Smart Network Data Services (see the URLs below). MSN Postmaster is an informative Web site; Smart Network Data Services lets ISPs and other bulk email senders interact with Hotmail's antispam tools.
"MSN Postmaster and Smart Data Network Services represent a move by Microsoft toward broader, more comprehensive and transparent information-sharing with ISPs and email senders to help protect email and ensure that it continues to be an essential and valuable communications tool," said Kevin Doerr, an MSN Hotmail product unit manager at Microsoft.
