SpamBlocker: Combining NLP and Genetic Algorithms to Improve Spam Defence Efficiency | 2009-02-23 | 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.

The Total Cost of Email: Putting a Price Tag on Your Email Environment | 2009-02-17 | 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.

More Job Cuts, More Spam | 2009-02-03 | |
| 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.

Best Practices in Using Reputation-Based Anti-Spam Services for Email Security | 2009-02-01 | Cisco Systems |
| One of the most efficient, least costly and, remarkably, most effective anti-spam techniques is IP reputation filtering. An incredibly inexpensive technique for the anti-spam gateway, IP reputation filtering can be used to identify 80 percent (or more) of spam without even looking at message content. IP reputation services have become a best practice for any anti-spam gateway. This white paper discusses the origins of IP reputation services; test results on Cisco IronPort's own reputation service, SenderBase; best practices in using reputation services; and the ROI of reputation services.

Fighting Spam With the NeighborhoodWatch DHT | 2009-01-19 | university of maryland |
| This paper presents DHTBL, an anti-spam blacklist built upon a novel secure Distributed Hash Table (DHT). They show how DHTBL can be used to replace existing DNS-based Blacklists (DNSBLs) of IP addresses of mail relays that forward spam. Implementing a blacklist on a DHT improves resilience to DoS attacks and secures message delivery, when compared to DNSBLs. However, due to the sensitive nature of the blacklist, storing the data in a peer-to-peer DHT would invite attackers to infiltrate the system. Typical DHTs can withstand fail-stop failures, but malicious nodes may provide incorrect routing information, refuse to return published items, or simply ignore certain queries. The NeighborhoodWatch DHT is resilient to malicious nodes and maintains the O(logN) bounds on routing table size and expected lookup time.
