EarthLink tests new antispam system.

INTERNET BUSINESS NEWS-(C)1995-2003 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD

US ISP EarthLink has announced that it has plans to deploy a system that it claims will eliminate e-mail spam.

The new system is called 'challenge-response technology' which requires the sender to fill in a verification

e-mail when any e-mail is sent. This is expected to reduce the ability of the spammer to send out millions of automatically generated e-mails.

EarthLink is currently testing the technology this month.
