Anti-spam measures: Analysis and design

Abstract

This work is about spam e-mails, which are just one type of spam we face in electronic communication. Other types are related to SMS, chats, or Internet phone (Spam over IP Telephony). However, issues relating to these are beyond the scope of this work. In this introduction, we describe the problem that (e-mail) spam causes, and its history. We also define the goals of this work, how they are addressed (methodology), and how this work is structured (architecture). © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
