Network World's Cisco News Alert

Cisco covets anti-spam role
By Phil Hochmuth and Cara Garretson, Network World, 07/18/05

Cisco appears poised to initiate more action in the anti-spam
arena, having just jumped into a standards fray where the
industry's top hardware vendor normally wouldn't be found.

"Since all this [spam] traffic is running on Cisco networks in
large part, many customers often ask, 'Why can't Cisco do
something about it?' " says Sanjay Pol, vice president and
director of Cisco's Anti-Spam Initiative. "The less trust people
have of the Internet, the worse it is for Cisco and our
customers."

Last week, Cisco joined Yahoo, Sendmail and PGP Corp. in
submitting the DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) specification
to the IETF. DKIM results from Cisco and Yahoo merging separate
e-mail verification technologies with similar attributes, which
both companies had worked on for more than a year.
