The Yahoo-backed DomainKeys e-mail authentication initiative this week got a boost from Sendmail, one of the most widely used Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) technologies.
According to the results of a benchmarking performance study conducted by Sendmail Inc., the use of the DomainKeys only marginally impacted e-mail server performance and offers a "tenfold performance increase over typical milter-based spam filters."
"If e-mail authentication technology is to be widely adopted, it must have minimal impact on productivity and system performance," said Sendmail CTO Eric Allman in a statement. "These are impressive results for early code. They suggest that DomainKeys will be more efficient than current methods of filtering and evaluating all messages."
DomainKeys is a cryptographic-based e-mail authentication technology that inserts a digital signature into every message to guarantee it was not changed in transit and to verify the original sender of the message. Yahoo is openly developing the DomainKeys library for e-mail servers and clients on a SourceForge-listed project. Sendmail has developed an open source implementation of the DomainKeys mail filter, which plugs into both its open source and commercial Sendmail MTAs.
