The Institute for Spam and Internet Public Policy (ISIPP) said it has launched the ISIPP Accreditation Database. The database is designed to help Internet Service Providers (ISPs)and spam filtering
companies make email acceptance, handling, and delivery decisions, and to help legitimate senders of bulk and commercial email ensure that their messages are delivered and not mistakenly blocked as
spam. The database lists email senders and provides information about them to ISPs and spam filters, including whether a sender has passed a background and reference check by ISIPP and is personally
known to ISIPP to be a good Internet email citizen. The database also will show whether a sender publishes Internet domain authentication records. The ISIPP says sender authentication records are
important because they keep spammers from successfully forging a domain name in the "from" portion of the email they send. Email senders who are interested in being listed in IADB should
visit here, and receiving sites can get information about querying the IADB
here.
