Abstract
Junk mail—unsolicited bulk e-mail (UBE), Unsolicited Commercial E-mail (UCE), or spam—is the bane of the e-mail user. Unscrupulous marketers harvest e-mail addresses from every available source including Web sites, Usenet newsgroups, and chat forums. They then send large numbers of messages to these addresses enticing the recipients to buy their new miracle product, get rich quick using their unique and perfectly legal scheme, access the hottest pornography, join the one true faith, or—well, the list is endless.
