Anti - Spam Requirements on an SMTP MTA
نویسنده
چکیده
The intent is that these requirements will help clean up the spam situation, if applied on enough SMTP MTAs on the Internet, and that they should be used as guidelines for the various MTA vendors. We are fully aware that this is not the final solution, but if these requirements were included, and used, on all Internet SMTP MTAs, things would improve considerably and give time to design a more long term solution. Some ideas are presented in the Future Work section.

The intent is that these recommendations will help clean up the spam situation, if applied on enough SMTP MTAs on the Internet, and that they should be used as guidelines for the various MTA vendors.

متن کاملB@bel: Leveraging Email Delivery for Spam Mitigation
Traditional spam detection systems either rely on content analysis to detect spam emails, or attempt to detect spammers before they send a message, (i.e., they rely on the origin of the message). In this paper, we introduce a third approach: we present a system for filtering spam that takes into account how messages are sent by spammers. More precisely, we focus on the email delivery mechanism,...
متن کاملAuto-learning of SMTP TCP Transport-Layer Features for Spam and Abusive Message Detection
Botnets are a significant source of abusive messaging (spam, phishing, etc) and other types of malicious traffic. A promising approach to help mitigate botnet-generated traffic is signal analysis of transport-layer (i.e. TCP/IP) characteristics, e.g. timing, packet reordering, congestion, and flow-control. Prior work [4] shows that machine learning analysis of such traffic features on an SMTP M...
متن کاملFreeBSD server anti-spam software using automated TCP connection control
This paper describes a new approach to anti-spam techniques. Instead of having spam filtering software implemented at a mail client or server, we build a mail server agent called MT Proxy to deal with any spam related issue. This server acts a mediate firewall to securely protect our real SMTP mail server. All emails are allowed to come to their recipients, but at either slow or fast speed, dep...
متن کاملEvaluating The Use of Spam-triggered TCP/IP Rate Control To Protect SMTP Servers
This paper examines an approach to spam mitigation that rate limits incoming TCP/IP connections to an SMTP server based on the real-time detection of spam within the SMTP message exchange. Our approach is motivated by a desire to cause increased resource consumption at the spammer end of each SMTP connection, and to avoid the negative impact of falsepositives by eventually allowing all emails t...
