Minimizing the Time of Spam Mail Detection by Relocating Filtering System to the Sender Mail Server
This addresses network efficiency for email service providers, but it is incremental as it focuses on optimizing filter location rather than a new detection method.
The paper tackles the problem of spam emails consuming network resources by proposing to relocate the spam filtering system to the sender mail server, resulting in detection in the shortest time to avoid waste.
Unsolicited Bulk Emails (also known as Spam) are undesirable emails sent to massive number of users. Spam emails consume the network resources and cause lots of security uncertainties. As we studied, the location where the spam filter operates in is an important parameter to preserve network resources. Although there are many different methods to block spam emails, most of program developers only intend to block spam emails from being delivered to their clients. In this paper, we will introduce a new and efficient approach to prevent spam emails from being transferred. The result shows that if we focus on developing a filtering method for spams emails in the sender mail server rather than the receiver mail server, we can detect the spam emails in the shortest time consequently to avoid wasting network resources.
