A fully-protected large-scale email system built on Map-Reduce framework

Abstract

Running an email system with full protection from spam and viruses has always been a pain for any system administrator. The problem becomes more severe for those who are responsible for large number of mail-boxes with huge amount of data in a large-scale email system. By using MapReduce framework, which is designed for distributed processing of large data sets on clusters of computers, this paper proposes a solution of building a large-scale email system with complete protection from spam and viruses. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
