Chasing Chimera Measuring Anti-Spam Effectivenness in a Live Environment
Overview This White Paper explores different techniques for measuring anti-spam effectiveness in a real world live situation, and judges their respective merits. Spam detection can involve not only the analysis of the spam content and the IP address from which the spam email is sent - both of which can be found in a saved file, - but also the speed at which the message is delivered, and how the sender behaves. For instance, after introducing itself the sender is supposed to wait for confirmation from the receiver before continuing. A legitimate sending program will diligently wait for the confirmation. A spamming program attempts to send the most emails in the shortest time and will not wait.
