Paper Abstract:
|
In the last ten years the amount of unsolicited bulk emails has increased dramatically, going from 10% of total email
traffic to more than 70% in Europe. Spamming consumes an enormous amount of resources, penalizing companies, ISPs,
and finally end users. In this paper we first give an overview of the subject, highlighting recent technical approaches for
fighting spam which open new avenues for promising research. Then we briefly introduce the US SPAM-ACT 2003, the
European Directives concerning the processing of personal data and protection of privacy, and the specific Italian
legislation. Finally, we discuss these different legislative approaches in a critical point of view. |
