Abstract
Many businesses use email as a medium for advertising and they use emails to communicate with their customers. In the email world, the most common issue that remains unresolved even now is spamming or in other terms unsolicited bulk email. Currently, there is no common way to regulate the practices of an email sender. This proposed system is to formulate a protocol common for all the ESPs or inbox providers and a centralized system that will easily find the spammers and block them. By this method, the Email Service Providers (ESPs) or Inbox Providers need not wait for the sender behaviour and then take actions on the sender or sender domain or sender IP address. Instead, they can get the sender history of reputation from blockchain where the ESPs or Inbox Provider provides a score based on the emails they have received from the sender. The ESPs can get the Public Sender Score(S3) from the mobile application or web application which provides the score management user interface and APIs. The email marketers can also monitor their score through the application.
Highlights
The email industry has been functioning steadily for very long and they needed minimal or no change over the past years
Most of the spam identification mechanisms like Machine Learning are done by the email providers as in [1] after the mail is received by them which is found to be very effective
Some content differs from the subject and the spammers insert spam content in between the email content which can be identified by mechanisms like [3]
Summary
The email industry has been functioning steadily for very long and they needed minimal or no change over the past years. Some content differs from the subject and the spammers insert spam content in between the email content which can be identified by mechanisms like [3]. There are a lot of other mechanisms in place by the email providers in order to identify spam in the email content. This paper aims a different approach to stop the email spams at the origin even before the emails are sent out to the recipients. We propose a public Sender Score System (S3) that maintains the sender’s reputation by a score which is updated by the inbox providers periodically.
