How the Microsoft SmartScreen Technology Spam Filter Works

The spam filter SmartScreen Technology, developed by Microsoft Research,
is based on patented machine learning technology in which the spam filters
employed in Microsoft� products such as the Office Outlook� 2003 Junk
E-Mail Filter can learn the definitions that distinguish good mail from
spam. After inspecting an incoming message, the filter can then decide
whether the message is likely to be spam based on the probability
determined by the learning process. 

To educate the filter, hundreds of thousands of Hotmail� users have agreed
to participate in the Feedback Loop program. These users classify an
e-mail message sent to them via Hotmail each day as either spam or good
mail. The messages are then sent back to Microsoft, where the SmartScreen
machine learning technology investigates each message, and teaches the
filter what types of characteristics or indicators make the message likely
to be spam or good mail. 

To date, more than 5 million e-mail messages have been used to define the
criteria used by the filter. With such massive training on what markers to
look for in a message, SmartScreen is able to make a very accurate
assessment of the probability that an incoming e-mail message is spam.
SmartScreen Technology is trained on a statistically sound sample of
e-mail that includes good e-mail in addition to spam. The fact that
SmartScreen has learned the markers for both types of mail increases the
overall accuracy and reduces the likelihood of false positives. This
accuracy is one of the key advantages of Microsoft�s advanced technology
and filters. 

Microsoft�s spam fighting community submits millions of good and spam
e-mail messages to Microsoft for processing. The filter is then trained to
understand the differences between and markers associated with good e-mail
and spam. SmartScreen is used in Microsoft mail products such as Office
Outlook 2003 Junk E-Mail Filter to inspect messages for characteristics of
spam or good e-mail and filter accordingly. 

When a Microsoft mail product receives an e-mail message, the application
first obtains the properties of the message and determines if the content
should be scanned by the filter. If the message contains an address or
domain on the Safe Sender, Safe Recipient or Blocked Sender lists, the
appropriate rule is applied and SmartScreen is bypassed.

However, if the message is not on any of the lists, the message is
submitted for filtering. As the message is processed by the filter, the
different characteristics (typically contained within the message text)
are noted and the probability that each characteristic is spam (or good
e-mail) is used to generate an overall rating. Based on the setting in the
product that uses SmartScreen, the message, if determined to be spam, will
automatically be sent to the designated spam folder.

No soy usuario de Hotmail, pero por lo que se Hotmail (Microsoft)
siempre han estado usando alg�n tipo de paquete de filtros de contenidos
en su servidor creo que se llama/ba "BrighMail"
http://www.brightmail.com/press/2003_MIT_Spam_Conference/.

   Como todos van evolucionando a t�cnicas de control con filtros
bayesianos y ha desarrollado una cosa que se llama  "SmartScreen
Technology" que va a aprendiendo lo que es o no es spam seg�n el
usuario. Parece que lo han probado en hotmail e incorporado en Outlook.
Algo muy parecido a lo que hace Mozilla 1.5 con su boton "junk mail" y
que funciona extraordinar�amente. Adjunto un peque�o documento al
respecto.

Esto es lo que s�. De todos modos personalmente lo que mas me interesa
no son los filtros de contenidos sino las t�cnicas paa evitar que el
spam entre en el MTA como SPF etc. Es un sinsentido usar enormes
recursos para aceptar un mensaje para que acabe en la basura.

SALUDos
