Abstract

As checking SPAM became part of our daily life, unsolicited bulk e-mails (UBE) have become unmanageable and intolerable. Bulk volume of spam e-mails delivering to mail transfer agents (MTAs) is similar to the effect of denial of services (DDoS) attacks as it dramatically reduces the dependability and efficiency of networking systems and e-mail servers. Spam mails may also be used to carry viruses and worms which could significantly affect the availability of computer systems and networks. There have been many solutions proposed to filter spam in the past. Unfortunately there is no silver bullet to deter spammers and eliminate spam mails. That is, in isolation, each of existing spam protection mechanisms has its own advantages and disadvantages. In this paper, we analyze the shortcomings of existing anti-spam solutions and propose a multi-faceted approach using the spamresistible mail agent (SRMA), which provides the most advantages and the least disadvantages of existing anti-spam solutions. Our experiments show that the proposed SRMA is immune to existing spambots and the prototype proves to be effective, feasible and deployable.
