Abstract

In response to the growing torrent of unsolicited bulk email, informally known as spam, many technical schemes have been proposed and implemented to distinguish spam from legitimate mail and to block delivery of spam while letting legitimate mail through. Although none of the schemes is the magic bullet that some proponents claim, some of them, particularly when used in combination with each other, can help limit the amount of spam that users receive.
