The most
prolific and path breaking innovation of last century had been the
developments in the communication field. It literally changed the
business working, product marketing, support services and most
importantly, the advertisement campaigns.
But just like all goods things comes
with a price, so was the communication. It brought in the problems of
Spam Emails. Automated mailers with mass mailing capabilities, growing
marketing dependencies on this tool have seen the large losses in terms
of time and money.
There
have been many ways of targeting spam mails like blacklisted domains,
banned IPs, words in subject and many more. The spammers have always
found out a way to change their identity. But here is the catch. The
spammers are being paid to send the message. They can change their
Domains, IPs, subject lines, but how much they can play with the
contents? And that’s where content based filtering comes into focus. Now
we can understand that by targeting and focusing on message body, there
is a better chance of filtering spam emails.
Apart from the
usual spam emails, the new menace has been created by the "phishing
emails" targeting primarily eBay and PayPal accounts. These emails come
as a "Last Warning", "Attention Required", "Password Change Required" or
"Your account is suspended" among many more. These mails appear to have
come from eBay or PayPal and provide a link to their own page.
These pages are designed just like
the original pages and the unsuspecting user ends up providing his/her
sensitive information like username/password or Credit Card Information
to these duplicate pages. Here I would like to add one piece of advice
to all users that you should always see where the link is taking you by
seeing the tool tip and then if sure, follow the link.
The role of content in marking the
mail spam or not spam has been achieved using the Bayesian filter.
Together with the Black List of spammers and White list of trusted
emails ids, is the best technique to counter the spam. The most
interesting fact is that Spam Filter with Bayesian algorithm is a self
learning filter. The more you use, the more secure you shall be within a
matter of few days.
The spam filter integrate easily
with popular emails clients such MS outlook and Outlook Express. With
due course, up to 98% of the spam mails can be stopped from entering
your Inbox. The Spam Filter for Outlook Express and Spam Filter for
Microsoft Outlook, with the features of White List/Black List and
properly used Bayesian Algorithm will help prevent spam mails, phishing
mails and fraud mails from bothering you further.
There has been a considerable
increase in the spam mails containing Non English Characters also. The
Bayesian Algorithm based Spam Filter also must have the capability to
parse non English characters and mark as spam mail.

phishing mails, fraud mails and Non-English mails, you might like to try
