Tackling Spam and Spoof Email
Gaurav Malik · UEL Research Repository (University of East London) · 2006
The loss of productivity due to Spam has reached a critical limit. Spoof emails have dented confidence of people in communications from organisations. This is happening in an age where email has been recognised as a cost effective way of communicating. Companies have to invest resources to increase the confidence of consumers rather than abandoning the use of emails. This leaves two avenues of pursuing the matter, either email vendors have to implement safeguards or users have to implement technology and procedures. The paper will look at ways in which spam and spoof emails are being tackled and also make suggestions on how confidence can be raised by the use of hybrid approaches.
