Cisco claims that it is on the verge of an anti-spam router breakthrough. If successful this Cisco only technology would dramatically cut SPAM. At the same time it give Cisco a good revenue boost.

Sources claim a top team of engineers at networking giant Cisco is on the verge of readying software which will help eliminate the undoubted menace of spam. If these reports turn out to be correct the routing software could turn email back into a viable option, at least for Cisco hardware. At first.

While there's no comment from Cisco on product plans, what we do know is that Michael Thomas, a Cisco employee, and Jim Fenton have co-authored "draft-fenton-indentified-mail-00". That's available on the IETF draft repository, which you can find here.
