Abstract
Spam messages are today one of the most serious threats to users of E-mail messages. There are several ways to prevent and detect spam message, the most important way is filtering spam. Sometimes Filtering fails to discover some spam messages or even fails in the classification of non-spam messages as a spam messages. In this paper, we suggest a new effective method that reduces the spam messages by integrating prevention and detection techniques in one scheme. The reduction achieved by considering history and user authentication. This method based on issuing a certificate to each reliable user during the process of Email account Creation. The certificate used by Email servers to discard or forward ingoing or outgoing Emails. Each Server has to maintain white, gray and blacklist according to Email classification spam or ham, which determined by the user or by the contents examination of the message in terms of empty or contained only links without any text or by searching for a specific keywords in the subject and in the content. We believe that there are no bad or good E–mails forever, so the proposed model dynamically allows the transition of E-mail from one state to another state based on the number of received spam and ham messages.
