Some companies are making technologies that will help to fight spam. Of course this includes the need to check where an email is coming from to determine is the address is faked or not. I personally use SpamBayes, a bayesion spam filter. My spam is now 99% gone.

Yahoo has repeatedly discussed plans to support a proposed system, known as DomainKeys, for verifying the identity of an e-mail sender. AOL has recently begun testing a DNS-based system, formerly known as Sender Permitted From and recently renamed Sender Policy Framework (SPF). Microsoft, too, has developed its own system for identifying the origin of e-mail, called Caller ID for E-mail.
