If Goodmail's CertifiedEmail system gets more widely adopted this could be the beginning of the end of spam for many. The system highlights certain messages as certified meaning the sender is who they say they are. AOL and Yahoo! will implement this technology soon and perhaps with the weight of these behemoths behind this system, it will become the industry standard.
