The MIT mail system provides E-mail service for approximately 25,000 users delivering approximately a million messages per day. MIT's E-mail services have evolved significantly from simple mail delivery to an advanced system filtering in real-time for over 100,000 viruses, dangerous e-mail attachments, and Spam. We use many tools and technologies, to battle unsolicited bulk mail (aka Spam), and successfully identify 80% of the Spam destined for MIT.EDU. We’ll discuss the evolution MIT’s mail system, various anti-spam techniques and technologies, and the challenges facing MIT and other E-mail providers as they fight against Spam. Additional highlights include discussion of the emerging e-mail clients, webmail and SMTP authentication.
