I'm very surprised to see this. I've been working on a similar project at UNC-Charlotte since August of 2007, and I had not heard of its existence. Our project is called RepuScore. http://isr.uncc.edu/RepuScore/ I'm an undergraduate computer science student attached to RepuScore as my required senior project. I work as a coder and data collector for PhD Candidate Gautam Singaraju, and Dr. Brent Kang, who are the main researchers. We have published several well received papers at conferences in the US. It has become clear to me that reputation for authenticated domains is the next big weapon in the fight against spam. The only remaining uncertainty is who will have the first and/or best deployment.
