IBM Does Not launch DOS offensive against Spammers

I posted a story I caught on CNN this pask week. There are now reports that the technology was misunderstood and that a DOS attack is simply not true.


“Some have taken the inquiry or challenge/response mechanism to mean that FairUCE will be returning spam to the sending system in a tit-for-tat counter-attack. Not true, said Marc Goubert, the manager of alphaWorks. "That's not what 'challenge' is about," he said. "We're returning inquiries for the domain to identify itself, not the spam.”
