Spamming is the use of messaging systems to send an unsolicited message (spam), especially advertising, as well as sending messages repeatedly on the same site. While the most widely recognized form of spam is email spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media: instant messaging spam, Usenet newsgroup spam, Web search engine spam, spam in blogs, wiki spam, online classified ads spam, mobile phone messaging spam, Internet forum spam, junk fax transmissions, social spam, spam mobile apps, television advertising and file sharing spam. It is named after Spam, a luncheon meat, by way of a Monty Python sketch about a restaurant that has Spam in every dish and where patrons annoyingly chant "Spam" over and over again.
System and method of information filtering using measures of affinity of a relationship
ActiveUS20050171955A1Data processing applicationsData switching networksAffinity measurementSpamming
A system, apparatus, and method are directed towards enabling information filtering using measures of an affinity of a relationship between subscribers of an online portal system. The affinity of a relationship may be determined based, in part, on the tracking of various online behaviors of and between subscribers of the portal system. Any of a variety of behaviors may be tracked, including message communications between subscribers, participation in instant messaging groups, purchases, activities, categories, and so forth. Such behaviors may be employed to determine a level of trust (or affinity) between subscribers of the portal system. This affinity measurement may be used to filter various information, including, but not limited to, product recommendations, ratings, polling queries, advertising, social network communications, personal ads, search results, and the like. Moreover, this affinity measurement may also be employed to perform message spam detection.

System and method for the classification of electronic communication
InactiveUS20060168006A1Multiple digital computer combinationsData switching networksElectronic communicationSpamming
From an electronic message, we extract any destinations in selectable links, and we reduce the message to a “canonical” (standard) form that we define. It minimizes the possible variability that a spammer can introduce, to produce unique copies of a message. We then make multiple hashes. These can be compared with those from messages received by different users to objectively find bulk messages. From these, we build hash tables of bulk messages and make a list of destinations from the most frequent messages. The destinations can be used in a Real time Blacklist (RBL) against links in bodies of messages. Similarly, the hash tables can be used to identify other messages as bulk or spam. Our method can be used by a message provider or group of users (where the group can do so in a p2p fashion) independently of whether any other provider or group does so. Each user can maintain a “gray list” of bulk mail senders that she subscribes to, to distinguish between wanted bulk mail and unwanted bulk mail (spam). The gray list can be used instead of a whitelist, and is far easier for the user to maintain.

Spam filtering with probabilistic secure hashes
ActiveUS20060036693A1Multiple digital computer combinationsData switching networksSpammingComputer science
Disclosed are signature-based systems and methods that facilitate spam detection and prevention at least in part by calculating hash values for an incoming message and then determining a probability that the hash values indicate spam. In particular, the signatures generated for each incoming message can be compared to a database of both spam and good signatures. A count of the number of matches can be divided by a denominator value. The denominator value can be an overall volume of messages sent to the system per signature for example. The denominator value can be discounted to account for different treatments and timing of incoming messages. Furthermore, secure hashes can be generated by combining portions of multiple hashing components. A secure hash can be made from a combination of multiple hashing components or multiple combinations thereof. The signature based system can also be integrated with machine learning systems to optimize spam prevention.

Detecting unsolicited messages (spam) by aggregating information across multiple recipients and / or across the same or differing messaging protocols. Multiple messages are analyzed to detect a call to action pattern that specifies a target communication address with which the recipients are requested to communicate, such as an email address, an Internet address, a telephone number, and the like. Once a frequency threshold of messages containing the call to action pattern is reached, subsequent messages are temporarily quarantined for evaluation by a human operator. If the human determines that the messages are not spam, the human can release the quarantined messages, and indicate that future messages with the call to action pattern are not to be delayed. Conversely, if the human determines that the messages are spam, the human can delete the messages in quarantine, and indicate that all future messages with that call to action pattern are to be deleted automatically.

InactiveUS7072942B1Improve the level ofReduce the impactMultiple digital computer combinationsTransmissionService provisionSystem impact
Various embodiments of the invention address two critical problems that current email service providers face. First, there is the problem of maintaining high levels of customer service when email server systems are inundated with spam. Second, there is the problem of reducing the system-wide impact that spam has on the email delivery system. Current embodiments are directed to determining whether an email message is an unwanted bulk email message without necessarily considering the message that is conveyed by any portion of the email message. Through analyses of patterns of delivery of these email messages, profiles are built that allow an email server to ascertain whether there is a likelihood that any one particular email message constitutes an unwanted email message. If an email message is determined to likely constitute an unwanted email message, then memory-saving measures are implemented. In preferred embodiments, one copy of the email message is saved at a central, shared location that can be accessed by each of the intended recipients. This avoids having to replicate the email message across the system for each of the recipients.
