“New technology from IBM Corp. is designed to stop spam by identifying the Internet domain it came from, and can help spot online scams such as phishing attacks and e-mail spoofing.

The company Tuesday announced the release of FairUCE, or “Fair use of Unsolicited Commercial Email” for the company’s alphaWorks advanced technology program, citing a newly released IBM survey that found spam is 76 percent of all e-mail and may cost U.S. companies US$17 billion to fight this year.

The technology uses identity management features to link inbound e-mail back to its original IP (Internet Protocol) address, establishing a connection between an e-mail message, the Internet domain and the computer from which the e-mail was sent, IBM said.”
