Unsolicited e-mail, better known as spam, is considered to be one of the largest problems of todays Internet. Some sources claim that up to 90 percent of all e-mail is spam which is a large resource claim on e-mail infrastructures. In this paper we report the results of an anti-spam pilot held between four European ISPs during the first six months of 2007. The combined effort on several areas from technical to procedural is tested. One of these is passive network monitoring technology (such as Lobster) used in cooperation with spam filtering appliances.
