whitepaper Emerging Trends in Fighting Spam26/03/08 Symantec
  Spam has been a serious problem for email administrators and users alike for more than five years, growing from one in six emails in 2002 to approximately three out of four emails today. This white paper focuses on the problems caused by image spam, as well as other spammer techniques for delivering content through existing spam-blocking defenses. The paper also discusses Symantec’s approach to solving the problem of image spam, botnets and other threats.  sponsored by
whitepaper Detection and Prevention Methods of Botnet-Generated Spam2009-03-27 University of Texas
  Although anti-spam measures are improving, the spam volume is increasing due to the use of Botnets. Botnets facilitate an efficient generation and guaranteed delivery of large volumes of spam. Spambots, or spam-generating bots, use different transmission methods based on the network settings of the infected host. These methods include relaying, proxying, and direct delivery. This paper illustrates these methods and discusses what measures can be taken against them to address the spamming botnet threat. These measures are divided by the place they can be adopted at; the edge routers and the mail servers.

whitepaper Phishing 1012009-03-21 BITDEFENDER
  Phishing is the process of enticing people to visit fraudulent websites and persuading them to enter identity information such as usernames and passwords. The information is then used to impersonate victims in order to empty their bank accounts, run fraudulent auctions, launder money, and so on. Since phishing websites are no longer advertised on just email spam, it is believed that it is time for companies to invest more in research and development on browser level antiphishing protection. This research should focus both on new detection technologies, but also on ways of making the user to not ignore the warnings received.

whitepaper Spam Decisions on Gray e-Mail Using Personalized Ontologies2009-03-12 Association for Computing Machinery
  E-mail is one of the most common communication methods among people on the Internet. However, the increase of e-mail misuse/abuse has resulted in an increasing volume of spam e-mail over recent years. As spammers always try to find a way to evade existing spam filters, new filters need to be developed to catch spam. A statistical learning filter is at the core of many commercial anti-spam filters. It can either be trained globally for all users, or personally for each user. Generally, globally-trained filters outperform personally-trained filters for both small and large collections of users under a real environment. However, globally-trained filters sometimes ignore personal data. Globally-trained filters cannot retain personal preferences and contexts as to whether a feature should be treated as an indicator of legitimate e-mail or spam.

whitepaper Improved Spam Filtering by Extraction of Information From Text Embedded Image e-Mail2009-03-12 Association for Computing Machinery
  The increase of image spam, a kind of spam in which the text message is embedded into an attached image to defeat spam filtering techniques, is becoming an increasingly major problem.. For nearly a decade, content based filtering using text classification or machine learning has been a major trend of anti-spam filtering systems. A Key technique being used by spammers is to embed text into image(s) in spam email. They proposed two levels of ontology spam filters: a first level global ontology filter and a second level user-customized ontology filter. However, that previous system handles only text e-mail and the percentage of attached images is increasing sharply.

whitepaper IPv6 and Spam2009-03-04 COMDOM Software
  Implementation of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) appears necessary for further growth and development of integrated communications networks. However, this important enhancement to the Internet Protocol has failed to gain widespread acceptance. This paper highlights that the persistence and sophistication of spam reduces incentives to deploy IPv6. The analysis suggests that IPv6 adoption will erode the efficiency of antispam mechanisms that classify communications based on the reputation of its senders and will require an increased emphasis on content filtering.

whitepaper Textile Manufacturer Uses Hosted Filtering Service to Instantly Eliminate Plague of Spam2009-03-01 Microsoft
  Johnstons of Elgin, which makes cashmere and other fine textiles in northern Scotland, was receiving up to 1 million unwanted e-mail messages a day. The spam clogged data lines, crashed server computers, overwhelmed numerous internal solutions, and diminished employee productivity. Efforts to stem the spam were ineffective, and some proposals were prohibitively expensive. Finally, Johnstons worked with Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Adventi Group to implement Microsoft Forefront Online Security for Exchange, which routes incoming e-mail messages to the Microsoft global data center network for filtering. The solution, which required no capital expenditure or long-term commitment, virtually eliminated spam instantly. With more reliable incoming and outgoing mail, Johnstons saved three to five hours per week of IT administrative time, and restored employees' faith in the IT department.

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.
