Abstract

Spam is an annoyance to users, just as it is a threat. Organisations face challenges to protect email account holders from unwanted and unsolicited bulk email attacks. Spammers collect email address's by harvesting from websites to flood our In boxes, take up storage, costing time and money to remove and implement controls. Spam works toward eroding the validity of email and in some cases, our mailboxes fill with as much spam as legitimate mail.
