Abstract

In this paper, we propose E-mail sending-server authrization method using a distance estimation algorithm between IP addresses to check whether the E-mail sending server is registered in the domain of mail sending server or belings to the domain for filtering spam mail. This method utilizes the distance between the IP address of sending server and IP addresses registered in the DNS to figure out that the E-mail sending server exists in the domain to filter spam mail. The experimental result of applying the proposed algorithm to sample E-mails gathered in a large size laboratory says that 88 percents of legitimate E-mails and Only 10 percent of spam mails are sent by serversin the same domains of senders. The Algorithm may be effeictively used to bolck spam mails sent by server outside of the domains of mail senders. It may be also hired as a temporary E-mail protecting system until the standard E-mail aythorization protocol is fully deplyed.
