This paper describes an implementation of the spam mail prevention system using reply message with secrete words. When user receives a new e-mail, the e-mail address is compared with the white e-mail addresses in database by the system. If user receives a new e-mail which does not exist in a white e-mail addresses database, a reply e-mail attached with secrete words is delivered automatically. And the system is compared with the white domains first for intranet environment. It speeds up processing time. proposed algorithm is required a small database and faster than the black e-mail addresses comparison. This system is implemented using procmail, PHP and IMAP on Linux and the user can manage the databases on the web.

The problem of unsolicited e-mail has been increasing for years, so many researchers has studied about spam filtering and prevention. In this article, we proposed a faster spam prevention algorithm based on userID instead of full email address. But there are 2% of false-negatives by userID. In this case, we store those domains in a DB and filter them out. The proposed algorithm requires small DB and 3.7 times faster than the e-mail address comparison algorithm. We implemented this algorithm using SPRSW(Spam Prevention using Replay Secrete Words) to register userID automatically in userID DB.
