In a surprise move AOL and Yahoo are adopting a new strategy to fight spammers where it hurts the most, the wallet. The strategy aims to stop spammers by charging for bulk emails to AOL and Yahoo accounts. Bulk Email senders will be required to signup and pay a fee to get their email to an AOL or Yahoo customer. The fee will range from one cent to less than a cent per email. The bulk email sender will in return be able to send a certified email that gets to the recipient.
