An E-mail Server-based Spam Filtering Approach

چکیده
The spam has now become a significant security issue and a massive drain on financial resources. In this paper, a spam filter is introduced, which works at the server side. The proposed filter is a combination of antispam techniques. The integrated solution create a spam filtering system which is more robust and effective than each of the comprising techniques. The task of proposed filter is to minimize the ability of the spammers to distract the network by the spam. That is done by blocking the spam messages at the server level. A server-based solution is normally more advantageous than protecting e-mail users individually. Such a solution gives more control to administrators.
