  • Abstract
    In this paper we present Bloumail, a tool for detecting bot-generated spam. Bloumail operates, at the user-side on single user´s email streams, handles reduced user-specific email traffic, and thus is able to effectively detect spam in real-time. Sometimes Bloumail requires user intervention. However, by properly training it, such an intervention can be kept at minimum.
