ASSOCIATED PRESS — Feb 6 — Two of the world’s biggest e-mail account providers, Yahoo Inc. and America Online, plan to introduce a service that would charge senders a fee to route their e-mail directly to a user’s mailbox without first passing through junk mail filters, representatives of both companies said Sunday. The fees would range from 1/4 cent to 1 cent per e-mail; the latest attempts by the companies to weed out spam. In exchange for paying, e-mail senders will be guaranteed their messages won’t be filtered and will bear a seal alerting recipients they’re legitimate. FULL ARTICLE @ MSNBC.COM
