Abstract

A distributed spam-filtering system that leverages e-mail networks' topological properties is more efficient and scalable than client-server-based solutions. Large-scale simulations of a prototype system reveal that this approach achieves a near-perfect spam detection rate while minimizing bandwidth cost.
