 A new Web site aims to help determine whether a specific computer has 
been sending legitimate e-mail or spam.

The TrustedSource Web site uses data from reputation filters, which are 
billed as the next big thing in e-mail security. Makers of spam-fighting 
tools collect data on e-mail senders and use that to assign 
"reputations" to e-mail sending computers and Internet domains. Those 
who send a lot of spam get a negative rating and their messages are more 
likely to be filtered out.
