abstract = "One of the most relevant problems affecting the
efficient use of e-mail to communicate worldwide is the
spam phenomenon. Spamming involves flooding Internet
with undesired messages aimed to promote illegal or low
value products and services. Beyond the existence of
different well-known machine learning techniques,
collaborative schemes and other complementary
approaches, some popular anti-spam frameworks such as
SpamAssassin or Wirebrush4SPAM enabled the possibility
of using regular expressions to effectively improve
filter performance. In this work, we provide a review
of existing proposals to automatically generate fully
functional regular expressions from any input dataset
combining spam and ham messages. Due to configuration
difficulties and the low performance achieved by
analysed schemes, in this work we introduce
DiscoverRegex, a novel automatic spam pattern-finding
tool. Patterns generated DiscoverRegex outperform those
created by existing approaches (able to avoid FP
errors) whilst minimising the computational resources
required for its proper operation. DiscoverRegex source
code is publicly available at
