Internet Supergroup Formed to Defeat Email Scams

Sick of dealing with — or worse, falling for — spam emails that claim to come from companies like Facebook, Yahoo, Google or the like? Hope is at hand, as those companies (and many others) have joined together to create a new system to verify where your emails come from.

The Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance system — or DMARC — is the result of more than a year of collaboration between companies such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Yahoo, PayPal, AOL and LinkedIn, as well as non-internet businesses such as Bank of America, Fidelity Investments and others.
