Ottawa, Ontario (PRWEB) January 8 2004--LaneChange.Net has announced a major enhancement to its Domain Name Server (DNS) Hosting product that allows clients to take advantage of emerging DNS based anti-Spam mechanisms by publishing DNS text, or TXT type Resource Records for email servers authorized to send email for a given domain name.
One of the biggest problems in fighting Spam is the Internet email protocol itself. The email protocol assumes that everyone plays by the rules. This is not the case and one of the weakest flaws in todays email systems is that anyone can send email from anywhere as anyone," said Robert Schwartz, President of LaneChange.Net. Email should only originate from the email servers authorized to send messages for that domain name. DNS authentication based protocols will help achieve this goal."
Clients can now create TXT DNS records, using our DNS Manager, to further the development and testing of emerging protocols like the ‘Sender Permitted From (SPF) and ‘Designated Mailer Protocol (DMP)," Schwartz said.
"LaneChange.Net sees Spam and email borne viruses as the single biggest threat to the Internet and we are committed to helping the industry find a technical solution to these problems by providing the key building blocks to our clients to meet this goal" he concluded.
