Recently, e-mail has become an important way of communications in IT societies, but it creates various social problems due to increase of spam mails. Even though many organizations and cooperation have been trying researches to develop spam mail blocking technologies, a lot of cost and system complexities are required because of varieties of spam blocking technologies. In this paper, we designed of the SMBC(Spam Mail Blocking Center) using the Fit FA(Filtering Algorithm) Finder. Fit-FA Finder that search and applises spam mail filtering algorithm of the most suitable confrontation according to type of spam mail. The system of spam mail filtering is decided performance of the system by procedure that spam filter is used. Go through designed Fit-FA Finder and reduced unnecessary filtering process and processing time and load than appointment order filter application way of existent spam mail interception system.

Spam email is an electronic mail sent to a large number of netizen who do not want it. Criminals have been to take an advantage of this tool easily through harmful activities such as phishing. Recently the spam mail containing commercial information is broadly accepted as an illegal commitment to endangering the network. According some report, it could cause real damages. For the better policy on controlling spam mail we need new Efficient Countermeasure. Several laws have been enacted in Korea for controlling spam mail. The most important acts is the Using and Protecting Communication Act. Main targets of this law is virus spreading, computer hacking, cyber pornography, intellectual property breaching, private or public information abusing and cyber terrorism. But the Using and Protecting Communication Act is insufficient to control spam mail. For the better policy on controlling spam mail we need new Efficient Countermeasure. Therefore, this research wishes to present way to control for efficient spam mail through enactment of conversion, induction of clash action system degree, special law of national regulation form for spam mail.

While the E-mail is a important way of fast communication in these days. it is real that the E-mail is often misused as a commercial advertisement method and creates many social problems. Even though various filtering techniques for blocking spam mails have been developed, reliability of mail systems is decreased by misreading normal mails as spam mails, i.e. false-positive errors. In this paper, the SMBC(Spam Mail Blocking Center) platform employing spam mail recovery method based on privacy information is proposed and designed. The SMBC is designed in frame layer based on spam blocking system of proxy sewer and can be physically implemented in various topology so that flexible development with layered module is possible. Using privacy information makes the proposed SMBC platform minimize processing load and false-positive error rates so that it can improve mail system reliabilities.

In addition to RBL function, which is used to applying for spam e-mail filtering, as an effective way to deal with the recently widespread spam types, this paper proposes how to extract URL that was comprised in the original e-mail, apply it to RBL, and expand it. The BotNet, which is used to using for sending spam mails these days, has a problem that it is not able to solve with the distributed addresses of sent mails in spam e-mails. In general, as these spam e-mails are sent from the infected Zombi PC of individual user, the sent address itself is not efficient and is meaningless to use in RBL. As an effective way to filter spam e-mail sent by BotNet, this paper analyzes URLs that contained in the original spam e-mail and proposes how to effectively improve filter rate, based on the distribution data of URL site tempting users. This paper proposes the sending mechanism of spam e-mails from BotNet and the methods to realize those types of spam e-mails. In order to gather analyzable spam e-mails, this paper also carries out an experiment by configuring trap system of spam e-mail. By analyzing spam e-mails, which have been received during the certain period of experiment, this paper shows that the expanded RBL method, using URLs that contained in spam e-mails, is effective way to improve the filter distribution of spam e-mail.

In this paper, we constructed a spam-mail filtering system based on the lexical and conceptual information. There are two kinds of information that can distinguish the spam mail from the legitimate mil. The definite information is the mail sender's information, URL, a certain spam keyword list, and the less definite information is the word lists and concept codes extracted from the mail body. We first classified the spam mail by using the definite information, and then used the less definite information. We used the lexical information and concept codes contained in the email body for SVM learning. According to our results the spam precision was increased if more lexical information was used as features, and the spam recall was increased when the concept codes were included in features as well.

Even though lots of research have been doing about spam mail blocking technologies and their systems, the emergence of spam mails of new types causes the spam mail filtering rate to decrease and the occurrences of false-positive mails to increase. Therefore, existing spam mail filtering algorithms suffer from increasing load to be processed and decreasing reliability in spam mail blocking systems due to the shortage of newly developed algorithms and their research. This paper presents the Fit-FA Finder which is able to select appropriate algorithms to be applied and their procedures, and the development of the SMBC platform. The Fit-FA Finder is developed and implemented in the SMBC platform in which recovering process based on privacy information is employed for false-positive mails

In this paper, I developed a method whereby spam mail is automatically blocked through the connection to link URL. The blocking system works as follows. First, the system extracts information of URL linked to electronic mail which was delivered from any server on the internet. Next, the system lets itself be connected to the web pages through this URL. Last, the system blocks the electronic mail if those web pages contain any key word which was defined as a clue to spam mail.

We propose an automatic spam mail classifier for e-mail data using Support Vector Machines (SVM). We use a lexical form of a word and its part of speech (POS) tags as features. We select useful features with ${\chi}^2$ statistics and represent each feature using text frequency (TF) and inversed document frequency (IDF) values for each feature. After training SVM with the features, SVM classifies each email as spam mail or not. In experiment, we acquired 82.7% of accuracy with e-mail data collected from a web mail system.

Although E-mail system is considered as a most important communication media, 'Spam' is flooding the Internet with many copies of the same message, in an attempt to force the message on people who would not otherwise choose to receive it. Most spam is commercial advertising, often for dubious products, get-rich-quick schemes, or quasi-legal services. Therefore advanced anti-spam techniques are required to basically reduce its transmission volume on sender mail server or MTA, etc. In this study, we propose a new sender authentication model with encryption function based on modified DomainKey with SMS for Spam mail protection. From the SMS message, we can get secret information used for verification of its real sender on e-mail message. And by distributing this secret information with SMS like out-of-band channel, we can also combine proposed modules with existing PGP scheme for secure e-mail generation and authentication steps. Proposed scheme provide enhanced authentication function and security on Spam mail protection function because it is a 'dual mode' authentication mechanism.

The existing content-based spam mail filtering algorithms have difficulties in filtering spam mails when e-mails contain images but little text. In this thesis we propose an efficient spam mail classification algorithm that utilizes the link structure of e-mails. We compute the number of hyperlinks in an e-mail and the in-link frequencies of the web pages hyperlinked in the e-mail. Using these two features we classify spam mails and legitimate mails based on the decision tree trained for spam mail classification. We also suggest a hybrid system combining three different algorithms by majority voting: the link structure analysis algorithm, a modified link structure analysis algorithm, in which only the host part of the hyperlinked pages of an e-mail is used for link structure analysis, and the content-based method using SVM (support vector machines). The experimental results show that the link structure analysis algorithm slightly outperforms the existing content-based method with the accuracy of 94.8%. Moreover, the hybrid system achieves the accuracy of 97.0%, which is a significant performance improvement over the existing method.
