    Yahoo! and AOL plan to introduce a service that would charge senders a fee to route their e-mail directly to a user's mailbox without being checked by junk mail and anti-spam filters. Charges would be up to one cent per e-mail. "We were hearing not only from members but also e-mail partners that they wanted a different way of delivering e-mail that would stand out in the inbox and would guarantee them delivery," said AOL spokesman Nicholas Graham, adding that the company is likely to start offering the service later this month. Yahoo! confirmed that it will begin offering a similar service, but had no date set for the launch. The facility, provided by Goodmail, is aimed at online retailers and other companies that send large amounts of e-mail. In exchange for a payment and a promise to target only people who have agreed to receive their messages, senders would be assured that their e-mails won't be diverted to spam folders or have images or Web addresses filtered out. Bulk mail senders receive reports showing how many e-mails were received successfully. AOL said that credit report company Experian had already signed up.
