Abstract: Every year, the amount of unsolicited email received by the average email user increases dramatically. According to IDC, spam has accounted for 38 percent of the 31 billion emails sent each day in North America in 2004, up from 24 percent in 2002. Keeping pace with the quantity of spam is the quantity of filtering solutions available to help eliminate it. This document describes in detail how several of the most common spam filtering technologies work, how effective they are at stopping spam, their strengths and weaknesses, and techniques used by spammers to circumvent them.
