Abstract

This work presents a conceptual proposal to address the problem of intensive human specialized resources that are nowadays required for the maintenance and optimized operation of digital contents filtering in general and anti-spam filtering in particular. The huge amount of spam, malware, virus, and other illegitimate digital contents distributed through network services, represents a considerable waste of physical and technical resources, experts and end users time, in continuous maintenance of anti-spam filters and deletion of spam messages, respectively. The problem of cumbersome and continuous maintenance required to keep anti-spam filtering systems updated and running in an efficient way, is addressed in this work by the means of genetic programming grammatical evolution techniques, for automatic rules generation, having SpamAssassin anti-spam system and SpamAssassin public corpus as the references for the automatic filtering customization.
