Pre-Filtering The Spam

Pre-Filtering The Spam 06/29/2004 03:54 PM
My anti-spam system now uses a variety of server and client side filters to help keep the damn stuff out of the inbox. Now, some are suggesting an even earlier level "pre-filter" for spam. HP Labs has made a fairly simple discovery that even without various email authentication systems, it's pretty easy to get a quick determination as to whether or not an email is spam. The system they developed looks at whether or not the server sending you the email normally sends good emails or sends spam. With that one determination, they can properly pre-classify emails at a pretty high success rate. It's not a replacement for a spam filter at all. They know it's not that good. However, what it can do is do a pre-sort for prioritization purposes -- so that good emails tend to make it through the real spam filters faster. In a number of ways, it's pretty sad that we now need "quality of service" setups for our email.

The OpenNet Initiative has found that in the process of blocking access to 31 pro-North Korea sites, the South Korean government has blocked 3,167 unrelated domains. Apparently this happened because the NK sites were on servers outside of NK that SK blocked. (The OpenNet Initiative is sponsored by the Berkman Center, U of Toronto and U of Cambridge.)

ISP Hesitate Over Spam Filtering

ISP Hesitate Over Spam Filtering 06/03/2004 02:24 AM
As the spam battle wages on, most of the focus is on end-users and law enforcement. Not too many people seem to focus on the role of ISPs, who sometimes do take a more proactive role in stopping spam. The problem, though, is that when the ISP filters spam, they often run into issues with false positives. If the filters are too loose (to avoid false positives) then too much spam gets through, and users are upset. If the filters are too tight, important messages go missing, and users are upset. Many ISPs are realizing, at the very least, they need to let the end-user have access to the spam folder, so they can occasionally sort through it for false positives - but very few users ever bother to look through it. Some ISPs don't offer any kind of filtering at all, claiming that they don't see how to make money off of it - which seems especially short-sighted. If they can offer sufficient spam filtering, they're much more likely to keep customers than if they simply let everything through when customers are looking to their providers to provide protection from the onslaught of spam. No matter what, it's becoming clear that the spam fight needs to be approached from various angles, and many customers are likely to bail out on ISPs that don't at least offer a spam filtering option.

Spam filtering, the next chapter

Spam filtering, the next chapter 05/24/2004 09:17 AM
I've been experiencing good results filtering out spam with a combination of Popfile (a Bayesian classifier) and the built-in filter in Eudora 6.  I get well over 1,000 spams a day, so I need accuracy both in identifying spams and avoiding false positives with legitimate mail. 

The biggest problem with my setup is that it all runs on the client side.  Popfile works as a transparent proxy that runs on my Windows machine.  I don't see the spam in my inbox, but I still have to download it before it can be filtered.  As the spam volumes have increased, that has become an increasingly significant burden.  Every check pulls down scores of messages, most of which wind up in the trash.  I've had several cases where the sheer numbers crash Eudora. Getting email through my Treo is basically a waste of time, because it doesn't have the filters.  If I'm on the road and don't check my mail, there are thousands of messages waiting for me when I get back. 

I finally had time this weekend to set up filtering on the server side.  Werbach.com and my other domains run through a Web hosting provider, Pair Networks, which offers a version of SpamAssassin.  The tricky part was configuring it to automatically filter or delete messages, using procmail, rather than just putting something in the email header for later processing on the client. 

I think I have it working now.  I'm using SpamAssassin on a forgiving setting, because the client-side filters are still running after the mail goes through.  If I can just weed out 60% of my spams before they reach my machine, life would be much better.  So far, it looks like I can do significantly better than that. 

I'm still tweaking the set-up, so it's possible some legitimate email will get stuck in the filters.  If you write to me and don't get a response for a while, please try again. 

TMDA Filtering via procmail?

TMDA Filtering via procmail? 03/11/2003 01:22 AM
Has anyone managed to write a procmail recipe that can effectively identify TMDA auto-replies? You know, the kind that say "To release your message for delivery, please send an empty message..." Having never used TMDA, I don't know what's commonly customized and what I can expect to see there. I note that the header has X-Delivery-Agent: TMDA/0.62. Perhaps that's sufficient. :0 * ^X-Delivery-Agent: TMDA /dev/null Do folks commonly (or ever) modify their TMDA setup to get around the fact that...

Collaborative filtering with del.icio.us 06/24/2005 09:34 PM
There are currently 6550 del.icio.us folk with whom I share common bookmarks. As nobody will be surprised to see, my link affinity with that population displays the now-familiar long tail:

There's a recommendation engine lurking in there somewhere, and I've decided to try to flush it out. The prototype is a two-stroke engine. First, it captures the set of del.icio.us users on the steep part of the curve -- the ones with whom I have the most link affinity. Then it reads all their RSS feeds, coalesces the links, and applies another filter to select just the links above a threshold of commonality. ...

Regional Google Filtering 10/25/2002 07:23 AM
Jonathan Zittrain and Benjamin Edelman have released their latest report, systematic documentation of how Google.de and Google.fr filter controvertial sites. Google gives no notice that results are being filtered (as they do with the DMCA) and have nothing about it on their website (although they did acknowledge the practice in one email I found). Declan McCullagh asked for a list of blocked sites but Google refused to supply one. The authors list 113 sites they found thru trial-and-error to be blocked and again let you submit your own and record the results. Disclaimer: I assisted the authors with portions of the report....

Filtering Company Insults You To Get
Your Business 06/15/2004 03:19 PM
What is it about filtering companies that they feel the need to put out studies hyping up a problem as if it's the end of the world and (of course) mentioning that they have a solution to that problem. The latest in a long line of such studies is one from SurfControl, trying to worry businesses all over about the fact that (gasp!) much of their business info is in electronic form and that means (no, really!) it might get emailed to the wrong person. They then go on to basically insult any business that thinks they don't need their software to protect such accidents: "Alarm bells should be ringing but I'm not sure they are.... The business community is very naive and tends to think that security means just dealing with viruses." Maybe they just think there are better ways to handle such issues than to shell out cash to a filtering company.

Bayesian spam filtering for the masses

Bayesian spam filtering for the masses 10/30/2003 11:59 PM
Spam, or unsolicited commercial e-mail, is now a sad part of everyday life online. Research companies estimate that more than 50% of the worldwide e-mail traffic is spam. As a result, it's becoming constantly more difficult and time-consuming to sort out legitimate e-mails from the deluge of commercial messages we're being flooded with. But there are ways to fight back. In this series, we'll walk through choosing and setting up a highly effective package for screening out spam.

Documentation of Internet Filtering Worldwide by Jonathan Zittrain and Benjamin Edelman
http://cyber.law.harvar d.edu/filtering/

A variety of organizations, institutions, companies, and countries seek to restrict Internet access from within their premises and territories. For example, companies may seek to improve employee productivity by restricting access to leisure sites; libraries and schools may seek to avoid exposing children to sexually-explicit content, or be required to do so; countries may seek to control the information received by their citizens generally. Common among nearly all these applications is the public unavailability of the filtering lists -- that, by the design of filtering systems, users cannot and do not know the set of specific sites blocked. In some cases users might ask for a specific site and be told of its unavailability due to filtering, but in other cases such unavailability may be conflated with unremarkable network blockages -- a Web site might be unreachable for any number of reasons, and the failure to view it at a particular moment cannot reliability be attributed to active filtering. With this project we seek to document and analyze a large number of Web pages blocked by various types of filtering regimes, and ultimately create a distributed tool enabling Internet users worldwide to gather and relay such data from their respective locations on the Internet. This has been added to Privacy Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog. This will be added to Security Resources 2005 Internet MiniGuide.
