This study was conducted to investigate the determinants of e-mail use and its effects on the organizational effectiveness of hospital administrative workers. Data were collected from 147 administrative workers at 2 university hospitals in Seoul using self-administered questionnaires and analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis. The major findings of the study are as follows: 1. There are significant differences in the use of e-mail for business purpose in terms of the gender, age, status, and education level. Workers who are men, over 30s, high status, and highly educated were more likely to use the e-mail. As for the private use, there are significant differences only in terms of the age level. 2. The more job characteristics need to use e-mail, the more workers have computer skills, and the more favorable the organizational culture is to using the e-mail, the more frequently the workers use the e-mail for both business and private purposes. 3. Job characteristics and personal computer skills have significant positive effects on the use of e-mail for business purpose. However, for the private purpose, only personal computer skills have a significant effect on the use of e-mail. 4. The level of the e-mail use for the business purpose has a significant effect on the work productivity, communication, and job satisfaction, while the level of the e-mail use for the private purpose has a significant effect only on the communication and job satisfaction. The implications for hospital administrators and suggestions for further research are discussed.

With the advent of virtual money such as bit coins, interest in the block chain is increasing. Block Chain is a technology that supports Distributed Ledger and is a versatile technology applicable to various fields. Currently, the block chain is conducting research for various applications such as virtual money, trade finance, marketplace, power market, image contents service, and IoT. The technologies that make up the block chain are smart contract, digital signature/hash function and consensus algorithm. And these technologies operate on P2P networks. In this paper, we have studied e-mail system based on the ethereum which is one of the block chain based technologies. Most legacy mail systems use SMTP and the POP3/IMAP protocol to send and receive e-mail, and e-mail use S/MIME to protect the e-mail. However, S/MIME is vulnerable to DDoS attacks because it is configured centrally. And it also does not provide non-repudiation of mail reception. To overcome these weaknesses, we proposed an e-mail system model based on ethereum. The proposed model is able to cope with DDoS attack and forgery prevention by using block chain based technology, and reliable recording and management among block chain participants are provided, so that it is possible to provide a non-repudiation function of e-mail transmission and reception.

Recently, the malicious e-mail worm-viruses have been widely spreaded over the Internet. If the recipient opens the e-mail attachment or an e-mail itself that contains the worm-virus, the worm-virus can be activated and then cause a tremendous damage to the system by propagating itself to everyone on the mailing list in the user's e-mail package. In this paper, we have designed and implemented two methods blocking e-mail worm-viruses. In the fist method, each e-mail is transmitted only by sender activity such as the click of button on a mail client application. In the second one, we insert the two modules into the sender side, where the one module transforms a recipient's address depending on a predefined rule only in time of pushing button and the other converts the address reversely with the former module whenever an e-mail is sent. The lader method also supports a polymorphism model in order to cope with the new types of e-mail worm-virus attacks. The two methods are designed not to work for the e-mail viruses. There is no additional fraction on the receiver's side of the e-mail system. Experimental results show that the proposed methods can screen the e-mail worm-viruses efficiently with a low overhead.

E-mail system is considered as a most important communication media, which can be used to transmit personal information by internet. But e-mail attack also has been increased by spoofing e-mail sender address. Therefore, this work proposes sender verification faculty for spam mail protection at sender's MTA by using security card for protection forged sender and also for authenticating legal sender. Sender's mail MT A requests security card's code number to sender. Then sender input code number and generate session key after sender verification. Session key is used to encrypt sender's signature and secure message transmission. This work can provide efficient and secure e-mail sender authentication with sender verification and message encryption.

Due to the need for multilingual e-mail address, EAI Working Group of the IETF has created a wide range of standards associated with e-mail address internationalization(EAI) since 2006. One of the authors and colleagues designed and implemented the mail server, SMTPUTF8, that supports EAI RFC protocols. SMTPUTF8 mail server is composed of new SMTP and POP3 servers supporting EAI RFC protocols. However, SMTPUTF8 did not include a new IMAP server supporting EAI RFC protocol. Recently many people are using smart phones to read and send e-mail messages in a mobile environment. IMAP server is more useful than POP3 server in a mobile environment. Therefore, in this paper, the authors have designed and implemented IMAP server and client app that complies with the IMAP standard (RFC) published by EAI WG of IETF to support multilingual e-mail address. This IMAP server is added to the SMTPUTF8 mail server so that users can access e-mail messages via IMAP client app in a mobile environment.
