NEW YORK America Online has purchased Mailblocks, a technology company that fights unwanted e-mail messages and authenticates legitimate ones.

The Time Warner Internet unit plans to introduce its members to Mailblocks’ anti-spam technology through a series of upgrades. It also plans to roll out other enhancements to its e-mail offering, such as a redesigned interface and faster access to e-mail, as a result of the purchase. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

This is the second acquisition for AOL this month.
