Something will have to happen, spam is costing too much in time and

security record doesn't inspire confidence.
There are currently at least three recent proposals along these lines:
Pobox.com's SPF (Sender Permitted From), Microsoft's Caller-ID and
Yahoo's Domain Certs. The first two are somewhat similar and it looks
like they may merge. None of these is "secure email" but as an anti-spam
measure they don't need to be. Even a modest amount of per-message
effort on the part of the spammer is going to cost him enough to make
massive spam uneconomic, which is the whole point.
