A Taxonomy of Email SPAM Filters
Hasan Shojaa Alkahtani, Paul Gardner-Stephen, Robert D. Goodwin · 2011
SPAM email is well known problem for both corporate and personal users of email. Although SPAM has been well studied, both formally and informally, SPAM continues to be a significant problem. While the various anti-SPAM techniques have been described separately, the authors are not aware of any systematic presentation of them in the literature. We address this omission by presenting a taxonomy of existing SPAM email countermeasures, and a brief description of the taxa we have proposed, and ascribe a number of existing SPAM filters to the various taxa.
