Blocking out the eBay and PayPal Phish

You may have seen the announcement we made today with eBay and PayPal about protecting e-mail users from phishing scams. Now that those companies are confidently using DomainKeys on all of their outbound mail, we have begun taking strong actions against spoofed messages. This is not only good news for all of you Yahoo! Mail users with eBay and PayPal accounts, we think it will help to encourage even more industry adoption of e-mail authentication and DomainKeys/DKIM, which will make e-mail safer for everyone. You can read more about this on our corporate blog at Yodel Ancedotal.
