Preliminary anti-spam technique of mitigating server overload problem
Huang Jun · 2011
A novel proactive anti-spam technique was proposed to mitigate the burden of spam on local server to solve server overload problem as the server gets closer to overload.The proactive architecture first applies spam detection filtering at the router-level using light-weight signatures for spam senders.Then the behavior of IP addresses was used on the local server to predict whether an incoming email was likely to be normal or spam and show that IP address information would provides a differentiator between normal mail and spam.Our technique is meant to supplement existing Anti-Spam techniques.
