whitepaper The Carbon Footprint of Email Spam Report2009-03-01 McAfee
  All email users throughout the world, including consumers and businesses, struggle with the scourge of spam email. The costs and risks associated with spam have been well documented and have led to attempts by both government and private industry to curtail spam, notably the United States legislature's CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 and proposals ranging from large email providers banding together to implement sender authentication systems to pay-to-send models. This white paper uses the ICF analysis to make a compelling argument for stopping spam at its source as well investing in state-of-the-art spam filtering technology, which not only saves time and money but can pay off in big dividends to the planet by reducing the carbon footprint of email spam.

whitepaper Application of Refined LSA and MD5 Algorithms in Spam Filtering2009-03-01 Academy Publisher
  The paper proposes a spam filtering method that uses integrated and refined Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) and Message-Digest Algorithm 5 (MD5) algorithms to address a series of universal problems in spam filtering, including remarkably lowered filtering precision and notably unbalanced filtering efficiency as a result of lack of latent semantic analysis of mail contents. In introducing LSA, its weighting function is improved by integrating fuzzy membership to improve effectiveness of LSA in processing mail contents. On top of this, MD5 algorithm is used to generate "E-mail fingerprint", thus enabling quick matching and realizing highly efficient and accurate processing of mass-mailing spam. The result of the simulation experiment testifies effectiveness of the method.

whitepaper Comparing Industry Leading Anti-Spam Services2009-03-01 Cisco Systems
  The following analysis summarizes the spam catch and false positive rates of the leading anti-spam vendors. Compiled by Opus One, an independent research firm, this report provides data to objectively compare the market's most popular anti-spam solutions. All of the anti-spam solutions tested are in Gartner's 2008 "Leaders" or "Challengers" Magic Quadrant. In total, eight vendors were evaluated over the course of fifteen months The only vendor mentioned by name is the evaluation leader: Cisco IronPort. The remaining vendor names have been obfuscated.   
whitepaper Measuring Campaign Performance by Using Cumulative Gain and Lift Chart2009-02-27 SAS Institute
  The primary goal of a Direct Mail marketing (DM) campaign is to send mailers to group of customers who are likely to respond. To determine the likely responders for the offer, it is a common practice to build predictive models based on past experience, using historical data. It is not unusual to evaluate the campaign performance by comparing the results with the model. In this study, lift charts and cumulative gains have been used to measure the effectiveness of several marketing campaigns for telecom strategic products. The results provide important insights into the model, as well as performance measurement. This identifies the best customers and helps improve the profitability of subsequent campaigns.

whitepaper SpamBlocker: Combining NLP and Genetic Algorithms to Improve Spam Defence Efficiency2009-02-23 Universidad Carlos III Madrid
  The problem of differentiating solicited email from spam email for millions of email users worldwide has still not been fully solved, in part due to variation in user preferences and idiosyncratic language use. Many anti-spam systems treat email text as generic and are inadaptable to individual user preferences. This paper presents an anti-spam solution which combines two computational techniques for an algorithm which applies a two-step filtering process: keyword extraction and a genetic algorithm to build a spam filter system for filtration based on user word profiles. The algorithm has been tested on a text classification task, preliminary results indicating higher performance than one-layer classification systems. It is aimed to implement the system as an email plug-in for Microsoft Outlook.

whitepaper The Total Cost of Email: Putting a Price Tag on Your Email Environment2009-02-17 Mimecast
  You can't afford to ignore email archiving, security, internal policy or regulatory requirements, but can you afford to keep paying for it as multiple systems on top of your email system? This whitepaper explores how, when you add up the full price tag for your email environment, from server to software to risk management and staff costs, it becomes clear why running everything in-house can mean you spend far more of your budget on maintenance than innovation.

whitepaper More Job Cuts, More Spam2009-02-03
  In the face of email threats, besides to demand that employees should not open unsolicited email messages and regularly update system patches, the focus lies on the enhance of information security level. IT decision-makers should review the company information security policy for reinforcement. For example, an email security gateway can be set up in front of the mail host as a firewall to block the entrance of email threats. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. For data loss prevention, a content filtering product can also be used to scan digital contents and record the access logs for compliance.
