Description

Spam-zine System for reducing a spam-mail

1. Field of Invention

  Until now, Internet companies have been trying to prevent spam mails. However, the present invention is a method that can reduce spam mails by utilizing spam mails as information. It is an invention that makes it easier for spammers and users to use mail.

2. Technical background of the invention

 With the spread of the Internet, various services are provided to the Internet users with useful information through the Internet. On the other hand, as spam mails increase among each service, especially mail services, users are allowed to access pornographic material or illegal copy products. In the meantime, the number of victims in good faith is increasing day by day, and the number of users who make abnormal sales such as multi-level companies is increasing. To prevent this, various methods have been developed to block spam mails.

3. Prior art and problems

 end. The following conventional methods are used to prevent spam mails.

 I. How to block spam at the company level

  1) IP and Site Blocking: Blocks mail from users or companies registered as spammers in firewalls or mail servers, but does not effectively block spam.

  2) Online postage system: It is implemented by some domestic mail companies. When sending spam mail, it is registered to the mail company and paid cash according to the number of mails sent to reduce the burden of spam mail. Some companies have been financially burdened.

  3) Zero spam mail system: It is introduced and implemented by some mail companies, and puts the mail of the person corresponding to the address book or user's pre-registered email address into the mailbox and stores the other mails in the virtual mailbox called spam box. It is a mail system that can drastically reduce spam mails, but there is a disadvantage that all important data can be moved to spam archives.

 All. How to block spam at the individual level

  1) Remove mail: Open your own mailbox and check the subject, ID, and email address to remove the mail that you consider to be spam. If you have a lot of spam mails, it will be inconvenient and time consuming.

  2) Registration of Rejection Recipient: It is to reject the spam mail by recording the ID of the person sending the spam mail. The individual registers the e-mail address of the person who sent the spam mail in the list.

 la. conclusion

  As described above, various systems exist to prevent spam mails, and these mail systems can be said to be a site operator's effort to be a healthy, safe, and necessary mail site for users. However, the above mail system is hostile by taking the form of rejecting the sender of spam mail, and it can be seen that it is not effective to cope with spam mail by uniformly coping with various methods.

4. Summary of the Invention

 end. The purpose of the invention is to prevent the damage caused by spam mails to users, and at the same time open the opportunity for spammers to have a chance to change themselves. The invention makes this possible.

 I. According to the first aspect of the present invention, individual and business spammers can present their intentions to other users in a simpler and easier way than the existing ones through spammers, which are the center of the present invention, and other users can Easier and simpler way to get rid of spam or at the same time get the information you need from spam.

 All. According to the second aspect of the present invention, since it does not require a closed policy like other mail companies, it is easy to secure members.

 la. According to the third aspect of the present invention, unlike the conventional support of closed email, by operating the same system of the present invention, it is possible to minimize spam mails and to facilitate the convenience of each member.

 hemp. According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, each spammer willingly provide their message to those who need or are interested, and at the same time provide an opportunity to provide more detailed information or manage separate members through their homepage. Can have.

1. Understanding Spam Mail

 end. Spam refers to the act of entering data that cannot be handled by the program and making it impossible for the program to run, or to unwanted or useless information. Generally, spam is an electronic message sent by a sender to a recipient who has nothing to do with it. It's called spam and it's junk mail.

 I. Spammers collect subscriber addresses one by one, or purchase lists from companies that create email distribution lists, then send large amounts of mail and automatically collect unspecified email addresses and send them in batches. Some use spam-only programs.

2. Understanding General Mail and Spam Mail

 end. General mail: General mail refers to information that is mainly for the purpose of exchanging information between friends and colleagues or information sent by a company of interest to you.

 I. Spam mail: Unrelated to yourself, the contents that you are not interested in are limited to the amount of mail sent to you, so you will be given the burden of deleting them every time. In addition, spam mails are often executed for unhealthy or illegal business, sale of illegal goods, etc.

3. Why send spam?

 end. Spam mails to date are aimed at delivering written content to an unspecified number of Internet users. The written content means that the spammer's purpose is fixed, and the unspecified majority cannot find a person who meets his or her purpose, so if the net is large, one or two carp will be sent. It can be said.

 I. The reason for sending a mail to an unspecified number like “A” is that it not only saves money than sending a mail, but also makes it easier and shorter to send it to a large number of people.

 All. Companies or individuals who send spam to reduce the costs of “b” and change may be in situations where there is no economic strength to advertise or the situation is impossible.

 la. Companies or individuals who use spam e-mail may require anonymity on the Internet because they have the purpose of selling pornographic contents to illegal or youth such as copy CDs.

4. Limitations of Spam Mail

 end. The prerequisite for sending spam is that you need to have a target audience and a large number.

 I. It sends a lot to the mail in a short time, which puts a heavy load on the mail server, which makes spammers hostile to the mail server administrator.

 All. Spammers who send spam usually send their mail mainly to meet their purpose (economic or promotional), so it is extremely rare for such purposes to serve other users.

 la. Sending spam mail is no doubt a cost or time saver for spammers, but the consequences of doing so harm the indifferent relative majority.

 hemp. Even if you send spam, you can hardly find any feedback about it, and it's hard to judge spammers' connectivity to your profits, depending on your intentions. Therefore, sending spam can be just labor.

 bar. Recipients of spam mails do not have the public trust of spam mails themselves, so the spammer's economic ability is lowered and the contents are not trusted, and the public trust of spam mails is much lower than that of general banner advertisements.

5. Understanding Spammers

 end. Practical spammers: Users who are currently sending spam, mainly those who are sending it to unrelated people for their own benefit, and may not be considerate of those who receive it.

 I. Potential spammers: those who want to send spam, but who are unable to send it because of lack of Internet technology, or who are hesitant to introduce spam as a marketing activity for their own benefit.

 All. A common feature of spammers is that they have a set of goals, but they are unable to find a person that matches them, eventually sending spam to an unspecified number.

6. Relationship between spammers and recipients

 end. Reception

Figure 2

  1) As shown in the figure, user A receives mail by an internal user of a mail server he subscribes to and mail by an external mail server user. Here, user A (intermediate) of the internal user's mail rejects the conversation by not responding or deleting spam mails sent by spammers, which is merely one-way mailing of spammers. On the other hand, if a colleague, friend, or user B (left), who can be the target of a transaction, sends a mail, he or she reads and waits or sends a reply to have a non-unilateral one-way mail sending and receiving. .

  2) This relationship has a form of unilateral conversation by spammers, even though the mail is sent to user A by using an external mail server. In the case of newsletters of web service companies that you subscribe to, or mails of friends or colleagues who use external mail servers, you can read them first.

  3) In this exceptional case, even if the subject of the spam mail is misleading or simply read the spam mail by mistake, if it is not interested, it will be deleted immediately. Can be treated as

 I. Shipping relationship diagram

Figure 3

  1) As shown in FIG. 3, in order to send spam mail, a mail server is required and a large number of mail addresses must be provided.

  2) According to the above conditions, as shown in the figure, the amount of mail sent by spammers becomes a considerable amount, and spam mail imposes a burden on the mail server and damages the limited mail capacity of many users. . In addition, the actual reply rate is extremely low because the web-based member acquisition method is used depending on a large amount of mail addresses.

  3) Spammers do the same to other mail servers as well as their own mail servers, so the existence of spammers becomes a burden to mail server companies and users.

7. Transition of Consciousness

 The present invention is a solution to the ongoing inefficient relationship between the mail server company, the Internet accessor, and the spammer, and it is easy to control and spammers by changing the database of spammers and users to use the mail by the spammer as information. As a BM model using the homepage provided to

 First, we use the new concept of spam. Whether the information or banner provided by the mail or web server is necessary for the user depends on the user's judgment criteria. Even if you advertise and advertise a banner that promotes a good car, if you are more interested in a plane than a car, the information is no different than regular spam. Also, even if you advertise through banners that allow you to make credit cards in good condition, you can say that the information is not just spam if you are not a creditor or are not employed. Therefore, the core of the present invention is to treat the spam mail as a spam as the webzine, rather than treating the spam mail as a simple spam, and secondly, to support the spam and secondly to the user database for effective control The form is set, and thirdly, the homepage used by each spammer is used to exchange information between the user and the spammer.

  In other words, the present invention does not unconditionally hostile spammers like conventional methods, but recognizes the characteristics of spammers who seek their profits in a normal manner and understands it as a phenomenon of the Internet, and such spammers may be helpful to users. It is intended to provide information, so that it can be provided in a more convenient way without harming the user, so that mutually beneficial relationships can be formed, and some spammers are illegal, obscene, and abnormal business methods as of today. Using is different from the traditional way of preventing all spam.

 In other words, the present invention does not prevent spammers in a uniform manner in order to prevent spam mails in a uniform manner. To effectively reduce spam.

8. Understanding Spam-zine

 end. Magazine: A magazine or professional booklet that is made in a book format at regular intervals. It consists of information and advertisements, and its contents are broken down into specialized and detailed categories for cars, military, fashion, extreme sports, hobbies, and computers. By keeping readers.

 I. Web-zine: A form of magazine on the Internet that is a form of information unit that provides users with information and advertisements on a regular subject or field basis at the information provider side, that is, server administrators or companies. The necessity has been reduced by the development of web servers and the spread of the Internet.

 All. Spam-zine: It is a combination of spam mail and webzine. Unlike a webzine that is centered on information by companies that support the service, spammers are centered on a regular cycle like a webzine centered on advertisement or propaganda rather than information. As a form of information provided to a user using an Internet server, it is the main BM model in the present invention.

9. The need for spam

 end. Type of Internet Information

 I. Need for Spam

  1) The reason for sending spam mail is that most of the content does not meet the above limitations such as webzine, banner, shopping mall, e-mail, and so on. To this end, a new concept of BM model called “spam” is needed as a new type of information organization that can accept the contents of spam mail.

  2) For the reason of “1)”, we devised a new BM model called “Spam” to make spam mail unnecessary, and through this, the spammy information that had been posted on e-mails and shopping malls found its place, so it was a social evil factor. You have a chance to lose.

1. Change database of mail server user

 end. User's database type

 I. The existing mail operating system has a user list of the recipients and has been rejected. However, registering as a recipient is a spammer sending a mail and sending the message again if the recipient is registered as a recipient. Since the sending process is performed, the mail itself is burdened by the sending itself. Therefore, it is necessary to have the information of the rejection requester in the user information, so that spammers cannot send the mail to other users registered as the rejection requesters, so that the server cannot be sent to the same e-mail address more than once without burdening the server. There is a number.

 All. What is expected by recording the rejection requester information as well as the rejection list (conventional method) in the user information makes it easier to distinguish the spam mailing candidates. Since a normal mail server user sends mail for his or her friend, colleague, or business reason, it is rare to receive a request for rejection of mail from the person to whom the mail is sent. In this case, it is numerically identified and is sufficient to identify spammers.

2. Actions for sending spam mail by spammers using mail server.

 end. Figure 4. When spam mails are sent, spam and spam mails are taken.

Figure 4

 I. The use of spam in Figure 4 is as follows.

  1) A spammer, one of the users of the mail server, logs in to the mail server to send spam mail.

  2) In the process of composing mail, it is the process of determining whether it is spam in the process of selecting whether it is spam or not.

  3) If it is determined that the mail is spam, it is the process of writing the information to the spam team in the order suggested by the server side.

Specify the address or select the entire subject, write the title and description, and record the sender's address, address map, and contact information.

  4) If you want to give points (electronic money) to other users who will read your contents while recording the contents in the spam, you can choose the number of points (electronic money) and place restrictions on them.

  5) The user who writes the contents to the spam team goes through the process of checking and modifying their contents. If the contents are posted to the spam team and the points are applied, the users can receive as many points as the spammer requests from the server administrator. Hand over information to spammers listed at

  6) The contents recorded in the spam team are published on the web through the web server and sent to the mail user as integrated link information called spam team for a certain period of time.

  7) The general user accessing the mail server checks the contents of the spam recorded on the web server by selecting and viewing the spam mail in the process of checking his or her mail.

  8) General users can search for spam information through various methods to find out the information they need. If points are accumulated in the contents, the points (electronic money) accumulated in the web server in the process of checking the contents are used. Go to your account.

 All. In FIG. 4, the processing of the spam mail without using the spam is as follows.

  1) A spammer, one of the users of the mail server, logs in to the mail server to send mail.

  2) In the process of composing a mail, in the process of selecting whether it is spam or not, in the process of determining itself as spam mail, it falsely determines that the mail it sends is not spam mail.

  3) Fill out the contents and send the e-mail to the set e-mail address.

  4) The user accesses the mail server to check the mail and checks the contents. In this process, the user can only delete the title by looking at the subject.

  5) If the general user who accesses the mail server deletes, the registration request (see “Table 2”) is immediately sent to the mail sender, and the address of the user who received the mail on the spammer's request list. Is added.

  6) The address book is added to the spammer's rejection requester list so that the user cannot send the mail twice.

  7) If the number of users who refused to send mail is more than a certain number of requests, it can be identified numerically as a spammer concerned, and the mail server administrator can take effective control based on the above information. .

3. Expected effect through spam

 end. Figure 5. Expected effect by spam team when sending spam mail

Figure 5

 I. By using the spam team, the mail server user can reduce the burden from the discomfort caused by the spam mail and the restriction of the mail account as shown in FIG.

 All. As a result of spamming, when spammers send general mails, they consist of only the subject and contents, so they lack sufficient information to deliver and lose their credibility, and they are hostile because they offend users' psychology. Although it is understood as a spam, if you use spam, you can secure the credibility by leaving personal profile such as contact and address as well as the title and contents, and benefit other users who read by applying points (telephone currency) In addition, many spam mails are categorized into a certain category, so users can search for the contents as if they are shopping and leave or record their own evaluations on each content, which is beneficial to users and spammers at the same time. .

 la. General mail control effect

  By reading the existing mail and registering the other party without registering as a rejection, it is unnecessary to use the conventional method that did not register more than a certain number of times, the user can not send itself, the burden on the server is reduced.

 hemp. By operating the same type of mail server in connection with external companies, spam mail can be reduced in a cooperative way.

4. General e-mail sending process

 end. Figure 6. Progress when sending general mail

Figure 6

 I. When sending a normal mail, the user selects that the mail is a normal mail, checks the contents, and sends the mail.

When sending e-mail, the information of the rejection requester is checked and the mail is sent to the user if it is not in the target list. However, if there is a person in the mail rejection requester list among the user's information, the mail is stopped. E-mail is notified to the author of the mail, and a series of actions are taken to confirm the request.

5. Effects through the list of rejected senders when sending e-mails

 end. Figure 7. Effects through the list of rejected senders when sending e-mails

Figure 7

 I. As shown in Figure 7, if there is an object in the reject requester list, since the mail itself is not sent, the burden on the mail server can be surely reduced.

6. Mail server user reads mail

 end. Figure 8. The process by which a user reads mail

Figure 8

 I. As can be seen through FIG. 8, the spam rejection request list of the spammers and the user information has the effect of reducing spam mails cooperatively.

By implementing the present invention, the following effects can be expected.

1. The user may not worry about the capacity of the mail account that has been lost due to the existing spam mail, may have additional benefits such as points (electronic money), and may be freed from the hassle of deleting the spam mail. have.

2. Spammers can provide more users with content that has been delivered through spam mail in an easier way than ever before, and at the same time have the opportunity to find users whose purpose is consistent.

3. Potential spammers who want to promote their business or things, but haven't been able to do so, are given the opportunity to facilitate their profit-making activities in the normal way through spammers.

4. By providing potential spammers with opportunities to promote and promote them, they can provide users with the opportunity to receive information that can be relatively more helpful.

5. The mail server operator can reduce the load caused by spam mail, and thereby create a more stable service.

6. Compared to the existing mail server companies focused on securing their own customers, the present invention requires cooperation with other companies, so that the business can be conducted in a more cooperative relationship.

7. Spammers who have been sending spam mails have the opportunity to give feedback through the texts left in their posts, so even spammers who had previously illegally traded can have a chance to change themselves. In boom times, spammers are publicly available on the Internet, so they can be caught as criminals by being tracked by the Internet Criminal Investigation Service.

8. The present invention does not view spammers as criminals like other inventions, but recognizes the desire to create one's own interests as an Internet user, provides a place of opportunity, and whether other users are illegal in the method. It is possible to operate human-oriented mail server unlike other mail companies by being evaluated by.
