1. Yahoo E-mail Filter Under Scrutiny

Bernie Sheinberg, a spokesman for Postendo (formerly Vanguard Security Technologies) said the decision to alter text was not the best way to block the spread of harmful code. "Software can block offending code without having to alter important e-mails," Sheinberg said.
"Technically, from an enterprise point of view. Content filtering ensures more productivity by the employees. Filters have been limited to blocking what goes in or comes out of a network and there are big holes to plug on the security end," he added.
While Yahoo's filter is being criticized for altering text, other e-mail providers say filters to block potentially dangerous code execution should be embraced.
Microsoft's (MSFT: Quote, Company Info) also filters out JavaScript tags and commands within its Web-based HTML e-mail service but words are never changed. -
